Understanding Promise.all in JavaScript

Is Promise.all still relevant in 2025?

In 2025, async JavaScript looks very different. With tools like Promise.any, Promise.allSettled, and Array.fromAsync, many developers wonder if Promise.all is still worth it. The short answer is yes — but only if you know when and why to use it.

  1. * the first benchmark you’re referring to isn’t using the most optimized compiler flags for nim, see https://github.com/lh3/biofast/issues/21#issuecomment-707979684 where you can get easily a 1.5x speedup by using `-d:danger –gc:arc`

    * worth mentioning is you can embed a python session using nim (or vice versa) via https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy so your can integrate either way

    * see also https://github.com/timotheecour/D_vs_nim for a D vs nim comparison

    * not mentioned in this article is that nim compile times are far better than typical equivalent idiomatic code in C or in particular C++

  2. Hello, nice article. I have a question, after learning a little bit of Go I can see that concurrency is super easy and powerful. What’s your opinion about Nim’s concurrency.
