New SCI version dropped which now supports async/await in CLJS!
And new #nbbcljs dropped which uses the newest SCI. Demo:
$ npx [email protected]
Welcome to nbb v1.4.206!
user=> (defn ^:async foo [] (let [x (await (js/Promise.resolve 1))] (inc x)))
#'user/foo
user=> (foo)

The next #babashka version will have an improved console REPL. No more rlwrap needed. Multi-line expressions can be entered and edited. Moreover: completions!

Spent an hour looking into adding async/await support to CLJS. Turns out it's not so difficult. I'm sure there's a few edge cases to iron out, but doable.
