Yeah. Most IO operations do need a way to cancel. And hopefully all of them will be returning Promises. I definitely agree that providing cancelability on Promise will add complexity. That said, the pattern of making heavy long-running APIs return a Promise, and wanting to enable cancelling them, is likely going to be common. So finding a good solution to that pattern seems worthwhile. / Jonas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
