Description

For fun and profit.

Pros:

• Native interface should be more familiar to new contributors
• Better tooling support
  • ESLint Promise checks
  • Hopefully cleaner stack traces in various tools
• One less stone-age dependency
• Better Performance?

Cons:

• No more finally (fin) method. Alternatives:
  • Micro library (e.g. p-finally): - ugly interface
  • Bluebird: - Additional dependency, + Lots of goodies
  • Polyfill: - where to include? - Possible conflicts? + nice interface
  • Babel: - additional build overhead + Lots of goodies
