> This proposal has repeatedly failed to advance at TC39 (the committee in charge of JS standardization) precisely because it's not a great fit as a language feature. It doesn't expose any fundamentally new capabilities, it doesn't tie in to any syntax, and by staying at the language level it doesn't integrate well with popular platform APIs that would use it.

Out of curiosity - what was different in promises vs. observables that the former found their way in the core language then? Was `async-await` already in TC39 minds when promises were getting standardized?
