In this case, I think the actual API we used would take a callback for success, and a callback for errors. I just used JS an example for how unnatural it would be to call something that exits the entire script early.

I have a big problem with promises + exceptions generally in JavaScript - much preferring union types to represent errors instead of allowing things to go unchecked. But I left that out as it was kind of a side-note from the point of affordance.
