Async in JScript

306 views Asked by At

I've recently noticed that the library I'm using to compile and use C# files like scripts in my applications (CSScript) can compile VB and JScript as well. One of my applications makes use of await/async (C# 5) though, does this exist in JScript? I can't seem to find anything using Google.

No. Async/await is syntactic sugar added to C# and VB.NET. You can still work with System.Threading.Tasks in JScript, but these keywords are a language-specific feature.

You can confirm this by looking through the JScript spec:
