The tension in Blink is between making it easy to subclass Promise in WebIDL versus making it easy for the garbage collector to trace object graphs that includes Promises. These considerations are different in WebKit because the integration between WebCore and JavaScriptCore works differently than the integration between Blink and V8. I'm happy to explain these issues in more detail if you would find that helpful, but I agree with ggaren that there's probably not much to learn from the Blink implementation because the design pressures are different than in WebKit.

Re: [webkit-dev] Proposal: Add support for Promises
That sounds like a great idea! The blink people are running into a bunch of issues by implementing them on the C++ side as opposed to inside the VM. Implement them in JavaScript seems like the right approach. On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 11:32 AM, Sam Weinig wrote: > Hey WebKittens, > > I’d like to add support for Promises.

[webkit-dev] Proposal: Add support for Promises
Hey WebKittens, I’d like to add support for Promises. Promises are currently specified in the DOM Living Standard (http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#promises) but will probably be moved to an ECMAScript standard at some point in the future. As such, I plan to implement them in JavaScriptCore. The main motivation for adding Promises is that many upcoming specs have them as a dependency, including WebCrypto (https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/raw-file/tip/spec/Overview.html), the updated FileSystem API (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013JulSep/0071.html) and others. Thoughts? -Sam ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
