Some things that are "better" with this BetterPromise implementation:

BetterPromise # then(..) accepts a BetterPromise (or Promise) instance passed directly, instead of requiring a function to return it, so that the promise is linked into the chain.
```
var p = BetterPromise.resolve(42);

var q = Promise.resolve(10);

p.then(console.log).then(q).then(console.log);
```

A Redux Story

Developer: "Doo Doo Doo... Working on the new Redux rewrite. Gotta write some fetch actions..."

FETCH_USERS -> function fetchUsersAction() {...}
FETCH_PAGES -> function fetchPagesAction() {...}
FETCH_FRIENDS -> function fetchFriendsAction() {...}
FETCH_GROUPS -> function fetchGroupsAction() {...}
FETCH_EVENTS -> function fetchEventsAction() {...}

‪“‬In what way is JS any more maintainable than CSS? How does writing CSS in JS make it any more maintainable?”

‪Happy to chat about this. There’s an obvious disclaimer that there’s a cost to css-in-js solutions, but that cost is paid specifically for the benefits it brings; as such it’s useful for some usecases, and not meant as a replacement for all workflows. ‬

‪(These conversations always get heated on twitter, so please believe that I’m here to converse, not to convince. In return, I promise to listen to you too and change my opinions; I’ve had mad respect for you for years and would consider your feedback a gift. Also, some of the stuff I’m writing might seem obvious to you; I’m not trying to tell you if all people of some of the details, but it might be useful to someone else who bumps into this who doesn’t have context)‬

So the big deal about css-in-js (cij) is selectors.

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

	// is Just(..) a monad? Well, it's a monad constructor.
	// Its instances are certainly monads.
	function Just(v) {
	return { map, chain, ap };
	function map(fn) {
	return Just(fn(v));
	}
	function chain(fn) {
	return fn(v);
	}
