Promisify everything

[hassankhan]

• Add bluebird to rsx-common
• All promise-based versions of RSX plugins should be part of v0.2.*

Maybe instead of Bluebird use built in promises with a polyfill?

[hassankhan]

Aren't Bluebird promises more performant? That was the only reason I was thinking of using them - is there a link you could point me to for the polyfill?

[RangerMauve]

Pretty sure they are, but for interop it's nice to have just the bare promise implementation without all the fancy combinators that people will have to learn to contribute. That will probably also make it easier when this eventually migrates to async functions.

In terms of polyfills, you could even just make use of bluebird, but there's also es6-promise, promise-polyfill, promise, and a slew of others to choose from.

I'm not too confident writing my own polyfill, thinking of using any-promise with Bluebird. Is it as simple as doing that or am I missing something else?

BTW thanks for all your input, highly appreciated 😄

[RangerMauve]

Definitely don't bother writing your own. Any-promise is pretty sweet, I've used it in a bunch of projects so far. Though in my case I was leaving it up to users to actually install the polyfill they wanted.
