▐ A curated list of useful resources for JavaScript Promises

Inspired by the awesome (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) list thing. Not to be confused with other awesome promises like "I promise you a million dollars" or "I promise you'll stay fit and never have to go to the gym again".

Promises/A+ Implementations (ES6/ES2015 compatible)

Strict Implementations
These implement no more or less than the es6 spec. They make great polyfills and are exceptionally compatible with native promises.

⟡ pinkie (https://github.com/floatdrop/pinkie) - Ponyfill. Node-oriented, but browserifyable (https://github.com/substack/node-browserify). Extremely small implementation.
⟡ native-promise-only (https://github.com/getify/native-promise-only) - Polyfill. Browser and node-compatible.
⟡ es6-promise (https://github.com/stefanpenner/es6-promise) - Opt-in polyfill. A strict-spec subset of rsvp.js.
⟡ lie (https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/lie) - Small, browserifyable with an opt-in polyfill.

Implementations with extras
All of these provide more features than the language yet remain compatible. Node + Browsers for all.

⟡ bluebird (https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird) - Fully featured, extremely performant. Long stack traces & generator/coroutine support.
⟡ creed (https://github.com/briancavalier/creed) - Hyper performant & full featured like Bluebird, but FP-oriented. Coroutines, generators, promises, ES2015 iterables, & fantasy-land spec.
⟡ rsvp.js (https://github.com/tildeio/rsvp.js/) - Lightweight with a few extras. Compatible down to IE6!
⟡ Q (https://github.com/kriskowal/q) - One of the original implementations. Long stack traces and other goodies.
⟡ then/promise (https://github.com/then/promise) - Small with nodeify, denodify and done() additions.
⟡ when.js (https://github.com/cujojs/when) - Packed with control flow, functional, and utility methods.


Fallbacks
⟡ native-or-bluebird (https://www.npmjs.com/package/native-or-bluebird) - Helps transition to completely native.
⟡ pinkie-promise (https://github.com/floatdrop/pinkie-promise) - Use native, or fall back to pinkie. Great for node library authors.
⟡ any-promise (https://github.com/kevinbeaty/any-promise) - Loads the first available implementation. Safe for browserify.

Convenience Utilities
Native and strictly spec-compliant promises are awesome for compatibility, future-proofness, library authors, and browsers. However, libraries like bluebird patch goodies onto the Promise constructor and prototype. Solution? tiny modules of 
course!
