Javascript is full of new, cutting-edge syntax. One of the things that can be tricky, when approaching it from other languages, is understanding how async/await work.

Would it surprise you to know that the language you’re using probably supports the same kind of syntax?

I would like to show you how any language that has generators can be made to use async/await syntax. In this talk, we’ll look at what it takes to make an event loop, and how we can use generators inside of it to simulate async/await in almost any language.
