I am not talking about JavaScript in general. I have been doing mainly JavaScript programming for the last 8 or 9 years or so (before that other languages like C# and C++ for many years). And I use those keywords all the time.

For this specific use case, they are trying to replace shell scripts. So I thought maybe some people might be willing to consider abbreviations for the async and await keywords for this case.
