Exactly! What's the point of a widescreen monitor if I can't have promises 10 levels deep?

Any half modern language has a syntax construct for it. Unfortunately Javascript is on it's way but not there yet.

I could explain it, but it's already described here better than I could: https://gist.github.com/MaiaVictor/bc0c02b6d1fbc7e3dbae838fb... (scroll to "do-notation")

Have you read it? It's saying Javascript has something like that.

No it's not. It is saying Javascript has asnyc/await which is just a specialization of the more general monad-o-syntax (or however you want to call it). And that is precisely what I meant.

The article likes them; you said they're a mistake.
