:rocket: Announcing: async-style 0.1.0 :rocket:

JS-style async/await has finally landed in Clojure!

• async/await implementation on top of core.async
• Follows the JavaScript Promise API and semantics as close as possible, so you already know how to use it
• Comes with blocking/await and compute/await as well, for asynchronous blocking and compute tasks
• async/wait for when you need to uncolor your code
• First-class error handling with implicit try/catch/finally and threading friendly helper catch, then , handle, finally, etc.
• First-class cancellation (cancel!, cancelled?)
• Macros for painless flow: ado, alet, clet

Try it: GitHub - xadecimal/async-style: Higher level utilities over Clojure core.async that let you use an async style of programming with ease.

Give it a :star:, start hacking, and let async-powered Clojure code fly! :dizzy:

Question not answered in the readme: what benefits do you see with this programming style compared to the coming structured programming baked in the jvm?
I could already answer to me that it works today without requiring the preview flag. Or its similarity with JS
But I am mostly interested in your opinion

Great work anyway. Waiting for my next home coding session to try it on personal projects
