I think the problem is because the code on npm is not ES5 and most people running Babel are not transpiling node_modules code (nor probably should they).

@alanshaw Could you please publish transpiled ES5 code to npm?

FWIW, when I upgraded my node version from 9.8 to 11.10.1, I don't get this issue.

But... I 'm not sure modern browsers natively support async generators, so it's probably safer for the repo maintainer to publish transpiled code.

Async generators have been supported in Node.js since v10. Please upgrade from Node.js 8 - it's no longer maintained.
