Async and Await

ES6, builds off of promises and very similar to python's asyncio

async function catFetch(userId) {
    const response = await fetch('....')
    return await response.json();
}

Async functions return a promise and let you use await whihc waits on promises

If the awaiting(only one await at a time) is limiting you can always fall back on promises

Wait with

function delay(timeout) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(resolve, timeout);
  });
}
async function ... {
    ....
    await delay(3000);
}

Async Ft == Promise

Can just use async functions in a promise

Look at babel runtime to get in the browser
