required

• promiseLand-⊃-javaScript

a lose set of modification to the core JavaScript syntax designed to make a developers life easier.
all modifications are of course compatible to the JavaScript syntax.
they usually are considered syntax errors in JavaScript.

##"string ##continuation"

Stability: 3 - Stable

there is no reason why strings should not be allowed to continue over several lines. thats why it is possible in promiseLand.

  var s = "this
  is
  a
  string";
  var x = 'this is a string
  as well';

achivement

be less annoyed when you have to create strings that contain line breaks.

##[function]

Stability: 3 - Stable

the function keyword is not syntactically necessary to identify a block of code as a function expression. you can simply leave it.

  doStuff(){
  };
  var someFun = (){
    doStuff();
  };

achivement

concentrate on your functionality instead of getting annoyed by writing the keyword function for the 10 thousandth time.

try catch losely

Stability: 3 - Stable

simply want to avoid any errors but not actually handle them?
or want to catch all errors of your function without giving it extra indentation?

• you can use try on its own

  try{
    someDangerousFunction(); // we dont care about the error here
  };

• you can use catch on its own

  myFun(){
    doStuff();
    doOtherStuff();
    catch(e){
      // handle all the errors here
    };
  };

if you use catch alone, it implies a try block over the current block up to the last catch statement.

achievement

less type work and maybe more readable code when using error handling
