Better Promises in JavaScript

fetch's Response.text also returns a Promise, so you'd have to await twice:

  const lines = (await (await fetch(myUrl)).text()).split('\n');

I've always just added an overload:

    function fetchText(input?: string | Request, init?: RequestInit) {
      return fetch(input, init).then(x => x.text())
    }

    function fetchJson(input?: string | Request, init?: RequestInit) {
      return fetch(input, init).then(x => x.json())
    }

Shucks, I can see how it becomes verbose.
