For other JS developers the stuff about await isn't relevant. It's not the same as a JS async/await

In JS an await is just syntactic sugar around a then() on a promise. The Await in the article is a method to block the thread until a promise resolves, there is no equivalent in JS.

.NET has a similar mechanism with Task.Result with similar pitfalls
