That is super interesting! I just found this out, while learning how to use async ... await in codeacademy!! Unfortunately their compiler doesn't let this work for some reason.
EDIT: I literally spelled a var name wrong, it works perfectly. But it's not accepting my solution as valid because reasons.

Not all online IDEs support top level
await, but you can wrap it as anasyncfunction.
