What Hacker News says
2 sourcesMost of those are FUD:
Promies can be cancelled - for example bluebird promises. Standard promises haven't added that feature and are going for tokens - but look at https://github.com/domenic/cancelable-promise and https://github.com/zenparsing/es-cancel-token/ - both stage one proposals.
Fetch will take a cancellation token - it's just taking a while but work is being done. A lot of discussions are happening since people are scared (rightfully so) about making a new API bad from the start.
The "errors are swallowed" is also FUD, see my comment below about `unhandledRejection` and `unhandledrejection`.
