[This has been merged](https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/pull/4300)into the original CoffeeScript compiler. It will ship with the next release.

[This has been merged](https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/pull/4300)and released as part of CoffeeScript 1.11.

As part of CoffeeScript 2, we will revise CoffeeScript’s`class` syntax to be compatible with ECMAScript’s`class`; this means no code in class bodies, no using`this` in a constructor before calling`super`, etc. Wewill inherit the limitationsofECMAScript’s`class`, butthebenefit of being able toextendthemandgeneratenativeES2015classes. Getters and setters[(#17)](https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss/issues/17) wouldneed tobe implemented as part of supporting ES classes.

As part of CoffeeScript 2, we will revise CoffeeScript’s`class` syntax to be compatible with ECMAScript’s`class`; this means no code in class bodies, no using`this` in a constructor before calling`super`, etc. Wetry to keep as many featuresofthe CoffeeScript`class` as possible while still ouputtingtheECMAScript`class` keyword, so that we canextendES classesandcreate extendablenative classes. Getters and setters[(#17)](https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss/issues/17) wouldprobablybe implemented as part of supporting ES classes. This is in progress at[jashkenas/coffeescript#4330](https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/pull/4330).

`async`/`await` isn’t completely standardized yet; it’s not part of ES2015 or ES2016, though it is supported in Edge and in Chrome behind a flag.[It has reached Stage 4 of ES2017](https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/master/finished-proposals.md).

CoffeeScript’s version would add only the`await` keyword, which would automatically cause CoffeeScript to output an`async` keyword where needed. This behavior is similar to how generators are handled, where the presence of a`yield` keyword causes CoffeeScript to declare the function as`function*`: the presence of`await` would cause CoffeeScript to declare its associated function with`async`.

So to take the example fromhttp://stackabuse.com/node-js-async-await-in-es7/, this #"diff-4588afae1af31173f8a25f1c5a55d5f22ab16802f5dd595171cb0156ec33b4c7-44-34-0" data-selected="false" role="gridcell" tabindex="-1" valign="top">44

var request=require('request-promise');

asyncfunctionmain() {

var body=awaitrequest.get('https://api.github.com/repos/scottwrobinson/camo');

console.log('Body:', body);

}

main();

could be written in CoffeeScript as:

body=awaitrequest.get'https://api.github.com/repos/scottwrobinson/camo'

console.log'Body:', body

main()

Fat arrows should be transpiledintoES2015`=>`. They took our good idea, let’s celebrate by using it.
