Papers I like Pt. 1 Papers I like Pt. 2

Let's start meta:

1. Lamport - State the Problem Before Describing the Solution (1978). … 1-page memo. Read it.
2. Herlihy - Wait-free synchronization (1991) … Truly seminal. Lucid + enough good ideas for 4 papers easily.
3. Cook - How complex systems fail (1998) … 4 pages that anyone working on/with complex systems should read.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

This document has moved!

It's now here, in The Programmer's Compendium. The content is the same as before, but being part of the compendium means that it's actively maintained.

By the way, I'm available for tutoring and code review :)

1. What Promises library should I use?
2. How do I create a Promise myself?
3. How do I use new Promise?
4. How do I resolve a Promise?
5. But what if I want to resolve a synchronous result or error?
