A brief look at async-await

There should be some review process for these .christmas articles. I get it - creating tons of articles quickly is hard, but the core message should not be incorrect.

I tried to look up a github reference on the page, so I could send a PR to fix the linked article, but it is not available.

We decided to keep the content in a private repo until every article is posted.

If you could share what you found incorrect, we are happy to update the article accordingly

> "thus forcing the code to be synchronous"

This (incorrect) message is then repeated again ("and act synchronously").

There are some other - minor - issues with rest of the article. I.e. asyncFunction and someFunction are not equivalent and as such can cause confusion (the same issue is in waitAndCheck vs chain.

Update the article based on your feedback.

Additionally, we included a link to the "Top level await" proposal. Currently stage 3.
