## Async Functions ES2017’s [async functions](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function) are supported through the `await` keyword. Like with generators, there's no need for an `async` keyword; an async function in CoffeeScript is simply a function that awaits. Similar to how `yield return` forces a generator, `await return` may be used to force a function to be async. ``` codeFor('async', true) ```
