https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/695
According to https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/issues/1026, users
should be able to just patch the global `Promise` object in their application
with:
```javascript
global.Promise = require("bluebird");
```
I am unsure about other Promise libraries but I believe this approach
should work as long as they're Promise/A+ standard compliant. Maybe we could
also give it more thoughts and see for other ways to handle this in a future
release, but I think it's worth making the code simpler at this point. I also
feel it can/should be done at the application level.
For Traversal methods, I didn't think about IDEs and you're absolutely
right about code completion. I think your proposed approach with
`callOnEmptyTraversal` works best. This makes me think that I'm pretty sure
people will want typed traversals with TypeScript or FlowType soon (thinking
about https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped here for example).
> Provide a Javascript Gremlin Language Variant
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TINKERPOP-1489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1489
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: javascript
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5
> Reporter: Jorge Bay
> Priority: Major
>
> It would be nice to have a Javascript Gremlin Language Variant that could
> work with any ES5 runtime, specially the ones that support
> [CommonJs|http://requirejs.org/docs/commonjs.html], like Node.js.
> Nashorn, the engine shipped with JDK 8+, does not implement CommonJs but
> provides [additional
> extensions|https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Nashorn/Nashorn+extensions]
> making modular JavaScript possible. Nashorn should be supported in order to
> run glv tests under the same infrastructure (JDK8).
