Whee!

So, I know that any thenable can be made a Q promise, but does that mean that if these AP2 promises are faster than Q promises they will indeed stay faster when they are Q-wrapped?

Could Q be made to use these promises as a low-level implementation when available?

Wout.

Q will probably continue to provide its own implementation of promises so that it can be used for RPC via Q-Connection. ECMAScript and DOM promises may not be suitable for message passing until they produce another iteration on the spec. I do not believe that there is enough political will to push for the RPC cases in the first iteration.

Q will probably adjust footing to align with the new standard interface so we can continue to provide relevant guidance and perhaps serve as a shim.
