@fishrock123 FWIW, I use promises on a daily basis in fairly complex situations, the complexity of the pattern has not been a factor.

@isntitvacant I fail to see why this makes them array-level complexity

@fishrock123 They're a container with access patterns wrapping a type — so are arrays. They are roughly as complex to use as one another.

@fishrock123 (You can do complex things with them, but that doesn't make them complex themselves for users.)

@isntitvacant I agree with @Fishrock123, perceived ease of use and complexity are different things

@isntitvacant @Fishrock123 to understand promises there's heaps of concepts that must be learnt, including prototypes - that's ok tho

@isntitvacant @Fishrock123 doesn't stop people from being productive with them: ease of use. But that doesn't mean they're not complex

@yoshuawuyts @fishrock123 It's kind of an arbitrary metric — to understand callbacks, one must grok scope, the event loop, & fns-as-values
