A lot of things in ES6 cause bloat imo. We don't need 6 different ways to do async.

@yoshuawuyts Generators and Promises have different use-cases. You should try out Ember, they use Promises extensively to deal with async.
@JonKoops ES7 is getting async / await to solve all the cases promises doesn't cover. Sounds like feature creep to me.

@yoshuawuyts@JonKoops async/await relies heavily on promises. It’s like you said we don’t need XMLHttpRequest as there’s jQuery.ajax. -

@yoshuawuyts The async keyword is for casting async functions using yields to Promises. Seems like a useful functionality to me. -
@yoshuawuyts But Promises are different to yields as represent the eventual result of an asynchronous operation that's chain-able. - 2 more replies
