Yeah this is a long way off and lots of things need to happen before node can even consider this… 1. TC39 needs to get async functions to stage 4: https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/blob/master/README.md 2. V8 needs to implement: https://github.com/nodejs/promises/issues/4 3. Node then needs to use this updated V8, and to be able to use this reliably, this V8 will need to reach an LTS release: https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/blob/master/schedule.png 4. Also Node API needs to become promises-compatible, which is god-knows how long away: https://github.com/nodejs/promises
