I fear that async/await will bring JS devs to use try/catch for logic control flow instead of only error handling. The future looks bleak.

@trevnorris Golang's way of doing async looks nice, could emulate by doing: ` { err, res } = await foobar() if (err) // handle err `
@trevnorris but all in all it's a gimmick; errbacks work now and are easy to reason about. Everything else tends to complicate things.

@yoshuawuyts I don't mind the syntax. Problem is await uses Promises, which catch exceptions. This can get very unsafe. -
@trevnorris Do you have a writeup about why this is a bad idea? I spend a lot of time trying to convince people not to use promises.
