C# await/async: This is great

So I recently discovered async/await in C#:

async is a modifier specifying a function which runs in a separate thread, and you use the await operator to pause execution of that method until the called method returns.  It's basically like what a Promise is in JS, but better integrated because it's part of the language.  C# is awesome.
