Hi!

Just came across this, and was wondering what your plans are for it.

I'm sure you know of Js.Promise (and its shortcomings), and while I like the API of this, it unfortunately isn't sound. JS Promises aren't (quite) monadic, by design, and treating them as such will lead to problems in certain edge cases. (And if you can't really trust them, what's the point of monads and type-driven design?)

I'm pretty sure we're going to have monadic promises via Lwt in the not too distant future. So I'm wondering what pains this solves for you, and if you really think it's worth the churn of adding another promise library with unclear trade-offs. Could your pain be (sufficiently) eased by upstreaming the sound parts of this, or perhaps by making a temporary Lwt-compatible adapter-layer instead?
