I'm a back-end-leaning full-stack (web-) developer with over 13 years of full time professional experience at various software development agencies. Besides that, I have years of hobby-programming and open-source experience, with Fluture[1] being my most well-received open source library. I've been leading small teams for the last eight years, focusing on developer enabling work such as process management, devops, software architecture, and coaching. I

You're right. There's not a native solution. I've used Fluture (https://github.com/fluture-js/Fluture) for while now as it follows the Fantasy Land spec. The canceler is returned in the Future's constructor. The biggest feature difference in comparison to Promises is that you can pass around a Future adding to the data transformation without it being invoked until fork is called. It's good to know that there exists a way to do this natively now though.

At that point, why not go straight to monads? https://github.com/fluture-js/Fluture/tree/11.x

This does exist: https://github.com/fluture-js/Fluture/blob/master/README.md#... Future.of(0).promise().then(console.log);

For those looking for monadic Promises, I’d suggest taking a look at Fluture (https://github.com/fluture-js/Fluture). It’s a wonderful library and with do-notation, ability to work with callbacks, nodebacks, and Promises, I haven’t looked back. It also has adheres to Fantasy Land, Static Land, and has defintions for santuary-def.

Can you compare/contrast with Fluture? https://github.com/fluture-js/Fluture

Fantasy Land is a great project—proof of how extensible JavaScript can be. There are some very interesting related projects: https://github.com/Avaq/Fluture is basically lazy and better promises. A+ spec got nothing on this. https://github.com/sanctuary-js/sanctuary adds better typechecks, combinators, and types like Maybe. https://github.com/origamitower/folktale An upcoming collection of similar tools for JavaScript. And of course, there's Ramda. I think these libraries may sound impossible to use at work at first, but if you play with them for fun, you can at least learn some cool techniques or paradigms.
