Scala Days 2012: Viktor Klang on The Future I was Promised
The Future I was Promised
With Scala Improvement Proposal 14, Scala's Futures will get a big upgrade with the new Future and Promise APIs. In this talk I will talk about the new APIs and how Futures and Promises can be used to compose asynchronous dataflow. We'll see how Futures can be used in for-comprehensions, how to gracefully handle failure, how to avoid blocking operations and get a glimpse into the implementation. This surely is the Future I was Promised, and now it is yours too!
