Comment on You can't cancel a JavaScript promise (except sometimes you can)

Comments

Back in 2012 I was working on a Windows 8 app. Promises were really only useful on the Windows ecosystem since browser support was close to non existent. I googled "how to cancel a promise" and the first results were Christian blogs about how you can't cancel a promise to god etc. Things haven't changes so much since, still impossible to cancel a promise (I know AbortSignal exists!)

Microsoft supports something god doesn't? That can't be right.
