- rauschma 2y agoIt depends on what you mean by syntactic sugar. I follow this definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar You can indeed translate an async function to an equivalent function that uses .then() but it’s a radical change, not syntactic sugar (as I use that term).
