Class static blocks are weird. Give me async constructors already!

[jakelazaroff]

Can you not just define an async static function that returns an instance?

[tnzm]

I can, but that's ugly - it violates standard semantics and generally introduces a new thing to know about.

You can simply return promise from constructor \m/

[k4rli]

Why would you need that?

[tnzm]

Why not?
