+### no-reject
+
+You can view a `Promise` as a result object with built-in error (something like `{ value: number } | { error: Error }`) in which case a rejected `Promise` can be viewed a returned result and thus fits with functional programming. You can also view a rejected promise as something similar to an exception and as such something that does not fit with functional programming. If your view is the latter you can use the `no-reject` rule to disallow rejected promises.
