Direct use await whitout async function聽#20923
Description
Hi, what possibilities exist to be able to use the await operator without the use of async?,
as it is currently done in javascript.
Example in actual javascript
const prom = new Promise((r)=> {r('Running whitout without async 馃弰
')});
await prom // Running whitout without async 馃弰
Regards!

@Hume83 do you mean what the node repl or chrome console does? There is some special treatment for top level await.
In regular JavaScript and TypeScript this is not valid. You can try it yourself by saving the code snippet to a file and execute that file with node.

You are right, excuse my ignorance, I have tried it fast in the console, it would be a really great feature, to avoid the unnecessary use of async function in some cases. Could this feature be available in the future of Javascript?
Thanks for your answer mate.
