"Ode to async-await (on NodeJS7)" useful for FBP ?

I don't fully get this, but you smart guys do: https://hackernoon.com/an-ode-to-async-await-7da2dd3c2056

Good for FBP?
JS is everywhere.

I'd like processes and channels :-)  (fell in love through Occam years ago)

Steam-engine time.

This is a good article. Everything he says about threads, before "Let's
play with a real-life example", is good and mirrors what I've been
trying to say.

The "await" feature, though, shows off a serious text-based mentality.

It is the opposite to node-red.

"Await" allows multiple inputs, but only one output (using "return").

FBP does this right, allowing multiple inputs and multiple outputs.

The place to start thinking is with diagrams.

Not text.
