Handling JavaScript exceptions as opposed to promise rejections in async code is a continual source of pain. They don’t work together. If you do try/catch on async code but forget to call await, catch will never be hit and your program might crash. There appears to be no linter available to detect this. Unless I’ve completely missed something, the interaction between these two features is a terrible design.
