FWIW: I have written down my understanding of the ES6 iteration protocol
(shaped by discussions I had on this mailing list).

I propose that all the calls to any async function will be implicit
(without the need of the await keyword). And precede it with a nowait only
when you want a promise.
See this snipped proposal:

This way, the code will not have the async clut
I feel this must have already been discussed but couldn't find any
discussion threads, just trying to understand them better.
The basic doubt is that I feel promises are more like streams, and that
streams are much more powerful than promises. With a promise you have a
value or an exception, and w

Why do we have both values and arrays, not just the latter?

Maybe the confusion stems from how Promises were used in ES5? ES5 doesn't
support generators, so people ended up adding a sort of psuedo-generator
API to their promise APIs, but in reality the concepts solve different
problems? FYI, python seems to use promises and event streams together in
its a
Synchronously, we have both normal (synchronous) function calls and iteration
over a sequence of values (via `for-of` and iterators). It makes sense that we
also should have two abstractions for asynchronous interaction.

The same argument also implies that arrays are more powerful than scalar
values, and we should e.g. never use a number when we could instead just use a
single-element array with a number.
