Package io.vavr.concurrent

This package contains basic building blocks for creating fast, asynchronous, non-blocking parallel code.

A Future represents an asynchronous task. It is a placeholder for a value that becomes available at some point. With the help of Future we efficiently perform many non-blocking operations in parallel. The value of a Future is supplied concurrently and can subsequently be used. Multiple concurrent tasks represented by Futures can be composed to a single Future.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Future<T>	Represents the result of an asynchronous computation that becomes available at some point in the future.
Promise<T>	A Promise is a write-once container for a read-only Future, allowing the underlying Future to be completed with a value or an exception.
Task<T>	Represents a possibly asynchronous unit of work, called "Task".
Task.Complete<T>	Completes a task.
Task.SyncTask<T>	A marker interface for synchronous tasks that are executed immediately.
