JavaScript Promises: There and back again

I've had this issue with Q and when. Sometimes, things would fail inside a then chain, and then I can't figure out where exactly it failed, because though it fell through a couple thens, I'm not sure exactly where it came from, or how it got that way.

Have you tried setting

    Q.longStackSupport = true

? This is invaluable for debugging (although it does slow things down a lot, so don't use it in production)

Yep, and this is exactly why its so nice to have promises built into the language. That way, the implementing engine could provide long stack traces for them as well as extra inspection and tooling of all currently pending async operations - and it could do that at the lowest possible performance cost.
