Have you seen React Server Components? You mark a component as `async`, and then you `await` some Promise inside of the component to fetch data. The fallback points are declaratively defined through React Suspense. For example:

<Suspense fallback={<LoadingSkeleton />}>

  <MyComponent />
</Suspense>

Where your Server Component then looks as follows:

async function MyComponent() {

  const data = await db.get('...')

  return ...
}

Yes, aware. Its cool, but the ergonomics feel very much the way I felt about Node.js with callbacks.

There is a different type of delight that comes from the ergonomics on async/await. This is the big jump React Suspense also needs to make. I am not smart enough to suggest anything here tho. I just know the framework (including React) that can give me that async/await delight while using Suspense will dominate!
