Promises are classic JS clusterfuck. Replace something shitty, like nested callbacks, with something even more shitty. Thereby ignoring 40 years of experiences

Promises are classic JS clusterfuck. Replace something shitty, like nested callbacks, with something even more shitty. Thereby ignoring 40 years of experiences of other languages.
