As far as I understand async/await, I would expect the following code to print a and then b, but it does print b first. Why doesnt await force it to wait for the execution of the first Timeout?

(async () => {

await setTimeout(()=>console.log("a"),10);
await setTimeout(()=>console.log("b"),0);

})();

`setTimeout` doesn't return a promise, so you cannot await it. – Bergi Mar 03 '19 at 18:45
@vstm thanks, that's a much better duplicate :-) – Bergi Mar 03 '19 at 18:46
