Easier Error Handling Using Async/Await by Jesse Warden

One of my leads has been hinting that I need to spend some time with Node’s asyc/await and some of the changes coming in version 12 and as 8 reaches EOL, and I finally did so this week.

As a JavaScript programmer and aficionado, I’d be somewhat disappointed if this change results in a Go-like exceptionless paradigm. I’ve long considered over-handling exceptions an anti-pattern, so changes that encourage it have my antennae up.
