I'm still awaiting async iterables [1] in Node.js. It's not part of ECMAScript yet, but I'm still excited for it. Chrome 63 and v8 6.3 enables async iterables, but this Node.js version (v9.4) uses v8 6.2 so no async iterables yet. Does anyone know whether a version of Node sticks with the same version of v8 throughout? So, is there any chance that a node version 9 will have v8 greater than 6.2?

- WorldMaker 9y agoI believe that Node has been treating v8 upgrades as semver major breaking changes as it changes the ABI for native extensions, even though there are enough mitigating tools these days that most native extensions don't break on v8 upgrades.
