Overview

One of the most prominently requested, praised, and criticized (sometimes validly) set of lint rules we provide is the Promise/Thenable-related ones:

• @typescript-eslint/await-thenable
• @typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises
• @typescript-eslint/no-misused-promises
• @typescript-eslint/prefer-promise-reject-errors
• @typescript-eslint/promise-function-async

Having a nice comprehensive blog post explaining all of them together will be a good way to help folks understand them. Following or alongside#8088, I'd like to write that post explaining:

• What those rules generally do
• Why they're so great & lovely
• Why & how ofEnhancement: [no-floating-promises] add an 'allowForKnownSafePromises' option #7008 &Enhancement: [no-floating-promises] add an 'allowForKnownSafeCalls' option #8404
• Why & how offeat(eslint-plugin): [no-floating-promises] add checkThenables option #9263 &feat(eslint-plugin): [no-floating-promises] disable checkThenables by default for v8 #9559

This'll also be useful once#7008 and#8404 are in, as I expect the new options will be talked about on social media.
