nodejs 7.0.0 已经支持使用 --harmony-async-await 选项来开启async 和 await功能。
在我看来，yield 和 async-await 都是在特定范围内实现了阻塞；从这方面来看，await 相当于在阻塞结合异步调用上前进了一步。
使用async前缀定义的function中可以使用await来等待Promise完成（promise.resolve() 或 promise.reject()）， 原生Promise或者第三方Promise都可以。
"use strict";
console.log(process.version);
var Promise = require('bluebird');
var requestP = Promise.promisify(require('request'));
async function testAsync(){
try{
return await requestP('http://www.baidu.com');
}catch(e){
console.log('error', e);
}
}
var b = testAsync();
b.then(function(r){
console.log('then');
console.log(r.body);
});
console.log('done');
node.exe --harmony-async-await test.js
console结果：
v7.0.0
done
then
<!DOCTYPE html><!--STATUS OK-->
<html>
<head>
......
采用await，可以比较容易处理某些Promise必须结合循环的情况，比如：
async getStream(){
var result = '';
var chunk = await getChunk();
while (chunk.done == false){
result += chunck.data;
chunk = await getChunk();
}
}
比较起来，原生Promise看起来样子有些臃肿，而且无法显示错误信息的stack trace；倒是bluebird的promise的stack trace做的不错:
原生：
"use strict";
console.log(process.version);
Promise.resolve('aaa').then(function(){
throw new Error('error message');
})
console.log('done');
结果：
v7.0.0
(node:7460) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: error message
(node:7460) DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
done
bluebird：
"use strict";
console.log(process.version);
var promise = require('bluebird');
promise.resolve('aaa').then(function(){
throw new Error('error message');
})
console.log('done');
结果：
v7.0.0
done
Unhandled rejection Error: error message
