Support for Promises as Monads #38

Closed sebasgarcep closed 8 years ago

sebasgarcep commented 8 years ago

This would be a nice feature to include into the library at some point. Promises are great, but what I'm not sure is if they completely follow monadic laws

cwmyers commented 8 years ago

I'm working on Promises/Futures at the moment. Stay tuned!

mostr commented 8 years ago

Hey @cwmyers, are there any plans to ship support for promises/futures any time soon? Thanks

Are there any news for supporting native node Promises as monads?

ulfryk commented 7 years ago

@alem0lars-yoroi - what do yo mean by native node Promises as monads ?

I am a fan of adding monadic Futures (rather than Promises - to avoid name conflicts). And to do it with next milestone (0.10.0) as current milestone is mostly cleanup, bugfixes and limited extending of current API.

WDYT @cwmyers

sebasgarcep commented 7 years ago

@ulfryk I agree with you. We should stop calling it Promises and rather call it Futures.

alem0lars-yr commented 7 years ago

I also agree.

What I was going to figure out was if it was already planned some interoperability between existing code using node's native Promises and Futures.
