Hi Sean, Answering to the part I have an answer to. Le 08/05/2013 02:27, Sean Hogan a écrit : > 3. The `catch` method throws an "Unexpected identifier" error in older > browsers, including IE6-IE8. ['catch'] is the answer for the time older browser matters (which depends on people's requirements) [1] > I saw one library provided `fail` as an alternative to `catch`. This been discussed early [2]. I prefer "fail" too, but don't care that much as long as there is something. > 6.

For context, see [3]. > 7. The `done` method definitions seem to have a couple of typos. > In one place it returns `void`, in another it returns a new Future.

When you call .done and the last promise had an error, the devtools can tell you so (telling you before .done could be confusing as the error might be later caught) David [1] https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21424 [2] https://github.com/slightlyoff/DOMFuture/issues/18 [3] https://github.com/slightlyoff/DOMFuture/issues/34
