| 00:01 | <shu> | i think there's no other way, because async generators return a generator object that vends promises, they don't return a promise directly |
| 00:01 | <shu> | so, parameter expressions like defaults can cause synchronous errors before the async generator gets a chance to create the generator object to return |
| 00:02 | <shu> | whereas async functions always return a promise, so they can create the promise first thing, then evaluate parameter expressions |
| 01:03 | <ljharb> | ah, so then yeah that makes sense, it's just weird, i guess |
