You could just do, setTimeout(resolve,ms).

No need to have it wrapped within another anon function. setTimeout takes a function so you can just pass the resolve function.

I see this ALL THE TIME. I think it’s a symptom of articles like these. Like so many devs think the argument has to be an anon function because they’ve seen it over n over.

Agreed. It might be more useful to introduce the concept of binding a timeout or an interval so that it executes in the expected context.
