> Your Child Loves Actor Frameworks

It turns out, Promises are actors. Very simple actors that can have one and only one message that upon resolution they dispatch to all other subscribed actors [0]. So children might love Promises and async/await then?

Personally, I've often thought the resolution to the "color" debate would be for a new language to make all public interfaces between modules "Promises" by default. Then the default assumption is "if I call this public function it could take some time to complete". Everything acting synchronously should be an implementation detail that is nice if it works out.
