@puffnfresh As I said: on that abstraction level I agree. But practical example where specifically auto-flatMap of promises fails..?

@jankrems x.map(makeRequest) // my other function expects M[Promise[String]] but get Promise[String] - breaks.

@puffnfresh I was talking about specifically flatMap of promise chains. When using .then - not a theoretical .map

@puffnfresh So my question would be: could there be any function that expects Promise[Promise[T]] for good reasons?

@jankrems @puffnfresh without abstraction, even the slightest, there is no longer any point to the API. It's entirely rubbish.

@dibblego @puffnfresh Well, imho an abstraction for its own sake without practical value is rubbish. PLs are tools in the end.

@jankrems @dibblego @puffnfresh Jan, what if you wanted to crawl sites async, and aggregate all the results to a single record after async?

@jackviers @dibblego @puffnfresh `Q.all loadAll(urlArray), aggregate` - don't see a problem.
