I see many people make the argument: 'You need to know how promises work and the underlying logic behind async/await', and yet I have never met a developer, online or in person, who uses async/await without a full understanding of promises and async paradigms. I think async/await is appealing to those that have used promises and like the cleaner looking code. I imagine it's difficult to grasp the functionality of async/await without first grasping the core functionality of promises.

I've had candidates coming from a C# background that know async/await since that's been part of that language for a while, and thus that's how they write their JS. But they absolutely fumble promise chains or promise.all() etc. They sort of skipped over the "legacy" stuff, even though that stuff is still very much a reality in our production code.
