Fair enough, would be nice to see an alternative to: https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/blob/master/src/hooker.js#L155 If you multiply that pattern across many projects with different 'styles' of writing it, complexity really adds up. Promises.join([a,b,c]).run().then(...) // parallel Promises.join([a,b,c]).setExecution('serial').run().then(...) // serial? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html#SERIAL_EXECUTOR As I was writing this, I saw the async proposal: http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:async_functions&s=async await would be king for serial execution of animations or file system tasks. It's all a bit confusing but going in an interesting direction, Cheers, J _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
