use Promises for tasks

We’re writing majority of code using async/await these days. So our first thought was to use it for kue-tasks too. Something like this:

queue.process('hello', async (job) => {
  let tmpResult = await someLongBoringOperation(job.data.name);
  await otherLongOperation(tmpResult, job.data.planet);
});

That doesn’t work as kue doesn’t distinguish promises from regular functions. Workarounds are mentioned in Readme, but they hurt elegance of app code.

Is there a chance that kue will have “native” support for promises?

The only complication I see is optional workerCtx param. Otherwise, the code should be trivial

Why not standard es6 promises? I personally find it slightly annoying when third party modules use their own promise implementation.

@behrad +1 for bluebird
