can core.async effectively replace the need for promises in most cases?

There is a promise-chan with once-only delivery

@joshjones yes it does. In the words of Rich: "promises are the one-night-stands of asynchronous programming, we're looking for a longer term relationship."

In other words they can work as promises, but often you can change your program around a bit and get more bang-for-the-buck with channels.
