Description: deferred subroutine syntax for futures
Future::AsyncAwait provides syntax for deferring and resuming subroutines
while waiting for Futures to complete. This syntax aims to make code that
performs asynchronous operations using futures look neater and more
expressive than simply using then chaining and other techniques on the
futures themselves. It is also a similar syntax used by a number of other
languages; notably C# 5, EcmaScript 6, Python 3, and lately even Rust is
considering adding it.
The new syntax takes the form of two new keywords, async and await.
This module is still under active development. While it now seems relatively
stable enough for most use-cases and has received a lot of testing in a wide
variety of scenarios, there may still be the occasional case of memory leak
left in it, especially if still-pending futures are abandoned.
