Announcing TypeScript 0.9.1

I think you might be waiting for awhile unfortunately. Implementing await would result in a lot of autogenerated code. Typescript is largely meant to be almost 1:1 with the Javascript it produces.

Anders talks about that problem in this video: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2013/9-006

One proposed alternative to await (for CoffeeScript) that is more one-to-one with the generated JavaScript: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/2762

There's also a discussion[1] at Codeplex on some TypeScript compatible alternatives to async/await.

Awaiting for awhile? Awful.
