Thoughts on javascript Async / Await

Some thoughts and playing around Async / Await with Javascript.

// Basic function setting name to this object
function _setName(name){
    this.name = name
}

// Basic function setting a name and saying "Hi {name}"
async function SayHi(){
    await _setName('Anakin')
    return console.log(`Hi ${this.name}`)
}

// Basic function saying "Goodbye {name}"
function GoodBye(){
    setTimeout(function (e) {
        console.log('See ya next time !')
    }, 100)
    var end = Date.now() + 2000
    while (Date.now() < end) ;
    return console.log(`Goodbye ${this.name}`)
}

// Function all launching all the process
async function all(){
    try{
        console.log('>> Awaiting SayHi <<')
        console.time('SayHi')
        await SayHi()
        console.timeEnd('SayHi')
        console.log('>> Awaiting Goodbye <<')
        console.time('GoodBye')
        GoodBye()
        console.timeEnd('GoodBye')
    }catch(e){
        console.warn(e)
    }
}
