Converts an asynchronous function to return a promise.
- Use currying to return a function returning a `Promise` that calls the original function.
- Use the `...rest` operator to pass in all the parameters.
- *In Node 8+, you can use [`util.promisify`](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_promisify_original)*
```js
const promisify = func => (...args) =>
new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
func(...args, (err, result) => (err ? reject(err) : resolve(result)))
);
```
```js
const delay = promisify((d, cb) => setTimeout(cb, d));
delay(2000).then(() => console.log('Hi!')); // // Promise resolves after 2s
```
