Spec https://tc39.github.io/proposal-async-iteration/ <https://tc39.github.io/proposal-async-iteration/> Summary Async Generators and the new Async Iteration protocol provide tools for implementing and consuming data sources not synchronously available in their entirety. A common use-case is to wrap ReadableStreams for consumption via `for-await-of` loops (example: https://jakearchibald.com/2017/async-iterators-and-generators/ <https://jakearchibald.com/2017/async-iterators-and-generators/>). Motivation Promises and Streams are a part of the platform, both from the perspective of the world-wide-web, and from the perspective of Node.js. This feature provides a streamlined, readable interface for interacting with complex platform tools, and enables developers to more easily implement complex schemes which cannot run synchronously. Interoperability risk * Firefox: In development * Edge: Public support * Safari: In development * Web developers: No signals Compatibility risk Low compatibility risk. There is some risk due to Babel's shipment of an incorrect implementation of the standard, and the complexity of feature-testing. That said, the feature has been staged for several weeks now, and content creators most at risk of running into compatibility risks would have likely encountered them by now during this period. Ongoing technical constraints None (granted, more work is likely needed to reduce the overhead of the feature on low-end devices) Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?
