Node: Question: How likely is it that Node v7.0.0 will include async/await?
Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but StackOverflow hates this kind of question.
I know v7.0.0 is scheduled for release in October 2016, but I haven't been able to find any list of features it's likely to include (if this exists anywhere, please point me to it).
The main thing I'm interested in is async/await. It would really help my planning if I could know roughly when it's expected to arrive.

Regarding async/await specifically, https://github.com/nodejs/promises/issues/4#issuecomment-222970692 should give you more details on where things are.
TLDR: Hopefully it will be behind a flag in node v7 (unless something changes/has changed)

It will probably be live in the V8 that node 7 ships. Here is an updated status: https://github.com/nodejs/CTC/issues/7#issuecomment-229588116
No, our APIs will not work with them, although there are plenty of discussions around that, we need to sort out some other things first. I would look around at the discussions on the nodejs/promises repo.
