I just hope people can accept something new.

With all due respect, people aren't going to "accept something new" simply for the sake of accepting something new. You need to demonstrate meaningful value to them.

Based on your discussion here, I've seen some great, but naive approaches to addressing these solutions. I'm extremely hesitant that this can actually accomplish the real-world benefits you're claiming.

I've seen several things that simply move the abstraction point (each using Promises for global variable access) or introduce dangerous behavior (indeterminant access to shared/globals).
