try/catch blocks with async/await

by

I’m digging into the node 7 async/await feature and keep stumbling across code like this

function getQuote() {
  let quote = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit laborum.";
  return quote;
}

async function main() {
  try {
    var quote = await getQuote();
    console.log(quote);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

main();

This seems to be the only possibility resolve/reject or return/throw with async/await, however, v8 doesn’t optimise code within try/catch blocks?!

Are there alternatives?
