Package io.vavr.concurrent

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.
