Promises don't work well for library internals; they're external API only. Async* style methods cannot be replaced, so what's the point?

Languages like Go and Rust have syntax to panic and stop execution - in JS this is `throw `- it's mental to destroy those semantics
I disagree with the premise that developer errors should be handled - at best they should be logged -> process.on('uncaughtexception')

@yoshuawuyts what do you mean by "developer errors"? -
@a0viedo I use assert to validate function arg types; type mismatch should never happen; swallowing those is harmful - 9 more replies

nothing is worse than being unable to trace errors - not only do promises break panic, they also inject timers which mess up profiling

If sugar is poured over a minimal API, then the API is no longer minimal. "Minimum" means least possibly feasible
