No promises<sup id="a0">[0](#f0)</sup>

[abarnert]

Everyone knows that a promise to fuckit when the code is done is worth more than fucking it now.¹ The original JavaScript version does things that way. Surely Python should be better than JavaScript, so I can write:

async def stuff():
    await fuckit('real_stuff')
    return real_stuff.do_it()

And yes, I realize that's a future, not a promise, but fuckit('hoverboard'), you know what I mean.
