Wonder how you deal with such scenario:

Promise { resolve, _ ->
  resolve("a string")
}.catch {
  12
}.then {
  val v: Int = it
  println(v) // Expected an Int, but a string is received
}

Sealed box class if you really must mix the types. Otherwise it's best to avoid mixing types in Promise

[Big Chungus]

Catch block is meant to provide a sensible default value, not an entirely different type.

[turansky]

catch call signature is invalid right now.
We will try to fix it here (with other Promise
problems).

In described example second then will receive data with type String | Int .

@Big Chungus that's reasonable! Thanks.
Although you know, it's something you need to be very careful about now.

@turansky oh nice. Although how are you representing String | Int? Any?

Comparable<*> expected
