Wow dude... Again, you're trying to pick a fight. I'm not "publicly shaming" anyone, that's ridiculous. All I have to say is, just watch. On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 1:22 PM, Jeremy Martin wrote: > I don't represent TC39, and I don't like adding so much noise to this > list,

I don't represent TC39, and I don't like adding so much noise to this list, so this will be my last reply on the topic. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with what you want, but you're barking up the wrong tree to get it: > This (not concerning themselves with the end users experience) is a >

criticizing tc39 for the current problems in frontend-development is fair-game. many of theses issues wouldn't exist if tc39 had responsibly gatekeeped es6 with a more modest feature-set of languages-changes, instead of creating an entirely new language. On 11/9/17, Michael Lewis

I did help you. I answered your question: I said async functions are preferable over all the other alternatives. And I said others can weigh in with their own perspective if they disagree. Of course TC39 justifies their decisions: but it's left up to us, as the developers, to find out what the

Hi Michael! TC39 is rightfully reluctant to offer usage advice. People should develop their best practices from experiences and the use cases they're involved in. For me, to answer your question, since I'm not a TC39 member, it's async functions all the way, and ditch observables, raw promises,
