As many of you hopefully know, we're trying to nail down the design of promises in JavaScript so we can declare consensus on it and start shipping it in implementations. If you're interested in the particulars I strongly recommend reading through https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/blob/master/README.md and partaking in the https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/issues discussion. The next TC39 is coming close and this really needs to be resolved (not settled!) by then as there are many APIs relying on promises now. Eg in https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/issues/8 we decided on Promise.cast() as IsPromise(x) ? x : Promise.resolve(x). https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/issues/18 suggests adding Promise.prototype.finally() and https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/issues/13 discusses which convenience methods we should add in the first iteration. I suggest we focus on the minimal subset that works (which I know is different for people, but let's aim for consensus) and then iterate again after we have a couple of implementations out there. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
