Promises, Futures and the death of the callback hell

Has this subject been already addressed? Is it worth considering here?

I searched the repo for Futures and Promises, and it seems that no proposal has been opened yet.

Async and related topics are deferred until the spring; I would imagine
promises fall into the same basket.

I have quite high hopes for this subject, especially with all the work going into LLVM to support it from the ground up.

So you are promising that we will discuss futures and promises in the future…

future…

I promise I'll spec some things out before Spring if this is something we want part of the language. I don't want it to have a sub-par implementation like Nodejs and forcing devs to monkey patch with Bluebird-Swift of so...
