Ask HN: How good/bad would it be for Node.js to have C# await operator?
EcmaScript 6 is adding a lot of features, what would it be like to add C# await operator to JavaScript?

Is it possible? Would it be a good idea? How would new code compare to old one?
E.g. var json = await $.ajax({...});
It seems like an interesting idea, but maybe not a good one because it might require massive runtime changes.
