Introduction to Asynchronous JavaScript
Promises are a popular way of getting rid of callback hell. Originally it was a type of construct introduced by JavaScript libraries like Q and when.js, but these types of libraries became popular enough that promises are now provided natively in ECMAScript 6.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing modern-async and when you can also consider the following projects:
async - Async utilities for node and the browser
Bluebird - :bird: :zap: Bluebird is a full featured promise library with unmatched performance.
step - An async control-flow library that makes stepping through logic easy.
ObjectEventTarget - A same behaviour EventTarget prototype, that can work with any object from JavaScript
q - A promise library for JavaScript
OF - 🍬 Promise wrapper with sugar 🍬
contra - :surfer: Asynchronous flow control with a functional taste to it
Javascript State Machine - A javascript finite state machine library
