In the case of Promises -- and especially serial Promise trees -- this is extremely difficult to do.
CoffeeScript:
function = (args) ->
externalPromiseService(args)
.then (resolve_value) ->
# code (interior)
, (err) ->
# catch
That's three levels of indenting before getting to your code. You can offload the interior to another method, but you've still exceeded the rule-of-thumb by two levels. Serial Promises require three levels of boilerplate, and breaking those levels out decreases their readability. -
