Glossary
chrisdickinson opened this issue · 2 comments
There are a lot of terms in play here, between async/await, post-mortem, Promises, and the error symposium. I will write a glossary defining common terms so that we can rely on it to ensure we're all talking about the same things.
Yes definitely. This is also related to #7
Some issues:
- Promise Resolution
- Rejection
- Fulfillment
- Recursive Assimilation
- Promises/A+
- Promises/A
- ES2015 Promises
- Promises as a DSL
- Microtask vs. Microtask scheduling semantics in promises
- Revealing constructor pattern
- Deferred.
- User Promise Implementations Q, When, Bluebird and RSVP
- Promise chaining and error propagation
- Unhandled Rejection hooks
- Operational Error Propagation
- Explicit Construction AntiPattern
- Promise Disposer Pattern
- Multicast vs. Unicast
- Then second argument vs .catch
- How to convert a callback API to promises.
- Promise error handling model.
- Promise cancellation
- Promise progression
I have answers defining most of these on Stack Overflow. Others like @bergus also have a lot of useful content. @spion has a lot of useful stuff in promise-nuggets and his blog.
Feel free to use anything from my posts there - I can create this content or help creating it. I don't mind stepping up and organizing the effort.
Where would such a thing be hosted and in what format?
I'll PR it to this WG as a GLOSSARY.md. It won't be an exhaustive catalog of terms, but should provide the minimum to make sure participants aren't talking past each other. It will include terms from post-mortem debugging as well as promises.
