Thanks for the clarifications :). I think this is a bit confusing because it is at odds with commonly-used terminology, from DOM Promises and Promises/A+, but at least now things are defined and used in a self-consistent way. Much appreciated. For the record, since you asked for better terms, the community consensus is: - "Fulfill" and "reject" are the two end states (as opposed to "pending"). - "Settle" means "fulfill or reject." - "Resolve" means "adopt or fulfill." "Accept" was just a strange neologism introduced by the linguistic fork that was DOM Futures, now thankfully dead. But for the purposes of this thread it may be best to stop worrying about these issues now that you've set out a set of self-consistent terminology, and simply go with the terms as you defined them. We can always re-kill the zombie "accept" at a later date, replacing it with the normal "fulfill," once we understand its semantics. I'll step back and let everyone else comment now, as I believe my views on the proposed semantics are well-known. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
