Example of map: Promise.resolve([ 1, 2, 3 ]).map(el => { return Promise.resolve(el * el) // return some async operation in real world }) Example of filter: Promise.resolve([ 1, 2, 3 ]).filter(el => { return Promise.resolve(el % 2 === 0) // return some async operation in real world...

const promiseReturningFunction = Promise.coroutine(function* (file) { const data = yield fs.readFileAsync(file) // this returns a Promise and resolves to the file contents return data.toString().toUpperCase() }) promiseReturningFunction('file.txt').then(console.log)
