Heck, why not just add async functions to the agenda?
There's:
- Promises, yay
- A well-establish use-case, which is awkward to implement without (as the
original post demonstrates)
- Strong syntactic precedent with C#
- Strong semantic cowpath with TaskJS
- Strong developer interest
- A year to work out any kinks : )
By "async function", I mean something like:
async function F(p1, p2, ...pN) {
await G();
}
which would de-sugar to something like:
function F(...args) {
return Task.spawn(function(p1, p2, ...pN) {
(yield G());
}.bind(this, ...args));
}
With a [NoNewLine] after the "async" contextual keyword, obviously.
Low-risk, high-reward?
