We can always add. Given the heroics browsers pull for optimizing unused return values already, this argument never made much sense to me. E.g. Brendan has earlier mentioned SpiderMonkey taking a different code path if it sees `if (regExp.exec(...))`, which only returns a truthy result instead of computing the entire array. It seems like a trivial optimization to notice that nobody's using the return value of `then` and not create a promise to return. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
