Mathias Bynens f2e5e26af3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

### runPromisesInSeries
Runs an array of promises in series.
Use `Array.prototype.reduce()` to create a promise chain, where each promise returns the next promise when resolved.
```js
const runPromisesInSeries = ps => ps.reduce((p, next) => p.then(next), Promise.resolve());
```
```js
const delay = d => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, d));
runPromisesInSeries([() => delay(1000), () => delay(2000)]); // Executes each promise sequentially, taking a total of 3 seconds to complete
```
