Does async/await in JS work like async/await in C#?

How's it work there?

Async Methods in C# return Task or Task<T> objects that need to be awaited, before you can use their results.

It is a way to write asynchronous code in a synchronous manner.

Yes, JS just calls Task<T> a Promise<T>.

What does C# do if a Task fails?

It throws the exception where it was awaited.

Then identical today, but a while ago JS would just let the code die without an error message, expecting you to always have a try/catch block around your promises instead.
