You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
    // the rest of your code goes here.
});

	#!/bin/bash

	for file in `find .`
	do
	EXTENSION="${file##*.}"

	if [ "$EXTENSION" == "php" ] \|\| [ "$EXTENSION" == "phtml" ]
	then
	RESULTS=`php -l $file`

	var getClass = function() {
	var funcNameRegex = /function (.{1,})\(/;
	var results = (funcNameRegex).exec((this).constructor.toString());
	return (results && results.length > 1) ? results[1] : "";
	};

	// define a class
	function Animal() {}

	// do this for all classes that need the getClass() method

	// CommandHandler Class
	var CommandHandler = function(repository) {
	this.handle = function(command) {
	// do stuff with repository and command
	}
	}

	// Elsewhere, create an instance of the class...
	var myCommandHandler = new CommandHandler(repository);
