This seems a lot like the “remote calls are invisibly transparent” which most people decided was a bad idea. (IIRC)

- chrisseaton 6y agoI'm not debating if it's a bad idea or not - I'm just saying that's the definition of future as the authors intended it. If you don't want that that, then maybe call it an eventual value instead as you don't have the single essential part of what makes a future.
- valenterry 6y agoI think the general meaning of this term has changed. Future is now considered a different type and I think we just have to accept that the older definition isn't really used anymore.
- chrisseaton 6y agoYes and to be honest I've written Future<... myself.
