You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

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.

In other words, the following asynchronous code:

var d = Domain.create()

d.on("error", function (error) {
    console.error("Error with the twitterverse:", error)
})

d.enter()

Exploration of a TodoMVC app using FRP javascript techniques.

Implementing TodoFRP in JavaScript

FRP to me means building your app by transforming values over time, from the input to the current state to the display.

This implementation is based on a the [graphics][1] library and is heavily inspired by [Elm][2]

A full implementation of TodoFRP can be found [online at Raynos/graphics example server][3]
