Create fantasy-land-promise proposal about fantasy-land HOT 9 CLOSED

from fantasy-land.

There's some tentative work being done in avow.js.

Please see promises-aplus/promises-spec#97. I don't feel that it's a lost cause. While I can't speak for all Promises/A+ contributors, I'm open to finding a way to make this work.

@briancavalier Let me rephrase it, I don't think rewriting all the promise based code on the web is really an option, at least I don't see us (few projects at mozilla) rewriting all the code that uses current Promise/A compliant code, which assumes promise.then(success, error).

That being said, if promises spec can be extended backwards compatible way, I see us adopting it soon enough. By backwards compatible way, I mean don not change meaning of then, instead add flatMap etc.. and implement then with them.

Can I close this, it seems like this is a dead end?

I don't know whether it's useful to create a fantasy-land-promise specification, but I think we should leave this open, for keeping track of promise implementations that follow the fantasyland spec. I think it's still worth pursuing to get Monad methods in all promise implementations, including ES7. While then/catch is the standard, there's nothing that prevents us from providing map, chain, ap, of as well. Let's put some efforts in making them popular for use with promises!

@bergus we have https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land/blob/master/implementations.md to keep track of conforming implementations.

I agree. @bergus I'm not disagreeing with you, I just want to see issues either move forward or closed. We shouldn't keep issues open for ever, without movement.

@joneshf Sure, I meant this issue less to keep track of them but rather to encourage their use :-)
Maybe we could rename it into "Get FL methods into ES7 promises"?

What do you think about an own section in implementations.md for promises?
