Thanks but promises are a fad, created because of a lack of async/await. Their replacement is async/await. As of July '16, they were committed to ECMAscript 2017. At the January '17 meeting the final ECMAscript 2017 featureset was announced whose major features are async/await and shared mem & atomics.

The JS community has been using async/await via babel for some time. Python is also moving to async/await, with 3.5 introducing and 3.6 completing support for async/await.  

Given that the future is here, that's why I was asking. I think (I'm very not sure) that V4 would have to be modified for async/await. Given the relative enthusiasm for async/await I was wondering if it was scheduled for V4.
