Evolution by Baxter

Futures are very similar to JS Promises. They even have similar APIs and can also be worked with the "async/await" of Flutter

I believe that's a dart feature just for comparison to JS instead of the framework.

Yeah, because package-lock.json files were never a thing.

Sorry to be that guy but, why are you posting comments that lead to topic derailing that add nothing to the discussion?

Agree. I’d like to thank conjectures, brodouevencode, Bjartr, kungtotte, m0xte, fidelramos, chii and pokot0 for their contributions, but gently suggest none of the jokes were really that funny. Said well: https://qht.co/item?id=7609289

Since we have a norm that those who post unfunny jokes shouldn't complain they are downvoted, we should also have a norm that those who don't like jokes should just downvote without comment. Of course, I'm violating the obvious meta-norm...

We actually have the opposite norm.

HN commenters are encouraged to post feedback in the threads about what's good and bad for HN comments.

See: https://qht.co/item?id=7605973

That's fine, and there are probably some would-be HN comedians who haven't heard the news about this yet, but meta-discussion is really boring. This is the last thing I'll post in this thread, and I won't be surprised if it gets downvoted to oblivion.
