@vrandezo @wikidata Thanks for the insights, subscribed myself to https://t.co/MheDDfAgn2.

via Echofon

@vrandezo @wikidata Interesting idea; probably hard to agree on a property order for certain items: puts “edit war” on another meta level…

via Echofon

@WikiResearch Did you/they evaluate the tool yet? Sounds like a great approach, but challenging to support all languages.

@wikidata Thanks for the explanation. Would you have the link to the Phabricator issue? Interesting problem to solve :-)

@tomayac @wikidata For DBpedia, it’s apparently alphabetically ordered: http://t.co/0Y1iYAqULI. Thanks for clarifying Wikidata’s logic.

via Echofon

@wikidata What’s the logic behind the order in which facts are listed on Wikidata? Not alphabetically, not by increasing property ID…Random?

@RubenVerborgh Ah? Not Promiscuous? Streams as multi-Promises? Have a pointer to code? Bedankt.

via Echofon in reply to RubenVerborgh

@RubenVerborgh Guess we agree on .all ;-) I’d have chosen .seq over .race. BTW, do you know https://t.co/Zzv7EJcHON? Quite elegant code.

via Echofon

@RubenVerborgh Pushing for having them natively :-) Glad you agree these are necessary features. Wonder why Promise.race() made it…

@RubenVerborgh Interested to learn your opinion on https://t.co/cfbQcjYa2v Using array.reduce for Promise.seq() doesn’t cover all use cases.

via Twitter for iPhone

Promises IMHO need Promise.seq() for sequential exec. and Promise.allMax(iterable, n) for parallel—but max. n at a time—exec. support!
