[Top-level await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await#top_level_await) is more readable and can prevent unhandled rejections.

## Fail

```js
(async () => {
	try {
		await run();

		console.error(error);
		process.exit(1);
	}
})();

```js
run().catch(error => {
	console.error(error);
	process.exit(1);
});
```

```js
async function main() {
	try {
		await run();
	} catch (error) {
		console.error(error);
		process.exit(1);
	}
}

main();
```
