So sorry I had to get rid of the joke here :( You can probably work it back in somehow.

Promises arrive in JavaScript!
Although they're a JavaScript feature, the DOM isn't afraid to use them. In fact, all new DOM APIs with async success/failure methods will use promises. This is happening already with Quota Management, Font Load Events, ServiceWorker, Web MIDI, Streams, and more.
Browser support & polyfill
-There are already (partial) implementations of promises in browsers today.
-When in Chrome, do as the Chromans do. Download Canary, which has promises enabled by default. Alternatively, if you're of the Firefox persuasion, grab their latest nightly, which also features promises.

Promises: Update browser support

You say halfway down that this the 'first time' that we've come across promise.resolve, however at this point in the article you mentioned it previously. You showed above how it could be used to cast a jQuery's Deferred to a standard promise. |

| <p>The spec also uses the term <strong>thenable</strong> to describe an object that is promise-like, in that it has a "then" method. This term reminds me of ex-England Football Manager <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Venables">Terry Venables</a> so I'll be using it as little as possible.</p> | ||
