The author "promisify"s a callback-based API in the article - which is worth a read by the way.

I'm interested in your opinion RE: his argument for why callback APIs are imperative - because I think he has a very good point and has supported it with a solid argument and you haven't offered any rebuttal.

Interesting. As you pointed out, I hadn't read the article but was rather replying to other comments.

After reading it, I think I have to agree that I had never thought about it that way. It makes a lot more sense that a promise is just a declaration of some unit of work, and when you can use a promise like any other data, you aren't just giving imperative commands, but rather describing work to be done and using that as a fundamental part of your code, which is why it drastically simplifies async programming (the relation of promises to monads is quite nice, too). Definitely a good article, thanks for kicking me :).
