Promises #12

Closed igorw closed 11 years ago

The ultimate solution to all of your callback troubles. Sample implementation: when.js.

max-mapper commented 11 years ago

promises are too heavy for the problems they solve. 90% callbacks are fine. in the situations when you need callback aggregation there are tons of little libraries you can use like what you linked

The only thing that really disturbs me about this reaction is the fact that you run a website that helps deal with async control flow, yet refuse to list valid approaches because of your personal disagreement with them.

max-mapper commented 11 years ago

It's called curation. The scope of the site is based on the experience of myself and others mostly in the node community where simplicity is favored and code that uses promises is usually overengineered.

I wouldn't be opposed to a section about libraries that are useful for dealing with complex flow control problems but when you open with "the answer to all your problems..." you are inviting an opinionated response.

Let me fix my previous statement then.

Yet refuse to list valid approaches because of your personal disagreement with me.
