Did you try running the code with the change you suggested? The lattermost closure in your snippet (`key => { ... }`) needs to be able to reference `message`, but you've moved it out of scope.
This and similar subthreads in this Show HN entry are a good example of pointless, hostile, obnoxiously-pedantic-without-even-being-technically-correct wankery that makes HN an often terrible place for conversations.
Ugh you're right, it wouldn't work then.
For what it's worth I was mostly commenting on the "the poster child of why async/await was made" comment above with the idea that async/await wouldn't necessarily be needed to make the code cleaner. But as you pointed out, in this case it wouldn't work. I'm sorry if the commment came out as wankery.
