You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

	module default {
	abstract type Auditable {
	required property created_at -> datetime {
	readonly := true;
	default := datetime_of_statement();
	};
	property updated_at -> datetime {
	rewrite update using (
	datetime_of_statement()
	)
