Showing a simple example of abusing async/await in javascript

async-await-abuse-example.js

const asyncJob = () => {
  console.time('asyncJob')
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    return setTimeout(() => {
      console.timeEnd('asyncJob')
      return resolve('result from asycJob')
    }, 1000)
  })
}

// async/await below are completely unnecessary
// as `result` does not need to be transformed before
// being returned by doThingA

const doThingA = async () => {
  const result = await asyncJob()
  return result
}

// it achieves the same result as the following
// simpler code
// const doThingA = () => {
//   const result = asyncJob()
//   return result
// }

const main = async () => {
  console.time('main')
  const result = await doThingA()
  console.timeEnd('main')
  console.log(`result=${result}`)
}

main()
