I was just trying to get a async/await working in react-native and I kept running up against various errors. Maybe I should wait until Typescript 2.1 is released and just use that.
It surprised me that async didn't seem to work by default in react-native because their documentation stated support for it very plainly. Maybe it's because I was on Windows or because I am using Node v4.
Thanks for the offer but I will probably continue to slog through this on my own. I'm really just getting started with React even though I've been reading about it forever. I don't know TypeScript very well either but maybe I will start learning!
