Not necessarily! I know a lot of people like promises and I'm fine with them being in the language! What I'm saying is that if we are going to build *special* support for async/await we should take a step back and see what we could do if they weren't built on top of promises. That doesn't mean abandoning them completely from the language. It turns out (in my opinion) that we could do better if async/await didn't assume the promise infrastructure. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
