You are aware of the cancel-promises work in TC39? Cc'ing @wycats. I've been slacking off and trusting him to keep it on track :-P.

I'd heard about cancelable Promises. I just fear we'll get async/await before we get them. Reasonable worry?

additional worry: cancellation goes in in a way that can't be used for async/await.

That would be a big failure on TC39's part, wouldn't it?

depends. features could be viewed as orthogonal

Nope. Language designers must make features compose. see Scheme report intro: http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/r5rs-Z-H-3.html#%_chap_Temp_3 … first paragraph.

no argument there. more arguing schedule constraints, lack of champions could lead to ordering that doesn't compose.

That too would be a committee failure. TC39's job is not design, rather oversight/looking-around-corners/cross-cutting-wins.

okay, so unreasonable to worry :) all involved only human, so I hope it doesn't offend that I state worries.

I'm agreeing - thot you were allowing for future conflicts that we didn't choose.

I objected to stage 4 until we were confident we could retrofit cancellation.
