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written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.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.

tacos are a category of food that are relatively small in size and are served on a open platform of thin carbohydrate filled material. things that make you want to sleep after eating or are sealed off when served are not tacos (see instead: burritos, pizza)

dosa
roti
peking duck which is usually served with mushu pancakes
gua bao
smørbrød
lefse

	How long had he been out? One hour? Two? It was not yet dusk but the cicadas had begun to roar.

	His eyes fluttered half-open, though only one seemed willing to do the work. There was a sourness in the back of his throat, metallic and dry, and for a moment he thought perhaps he had bitten his tongue in his sleep. He pressed a hand to his chest and let it rest there. Jus
