FYI. I'm working on a ClojureScript library named kitchen-async (https://github.com/athos/kitchen-async) in my spare time, and if you would like more syntactic support for Promises than promesa provides (ie. alet macro mentioned above), you might find it useful.
I know it's not totally an elegant solution for the issue, but it works enough (at least for me) in many practical cases.
