Go2Future

Deferred value implementation in Go2

Provides a higher-level concurrency construct, that eliminates the need for go statement and channels in most common use-cases.

Usage

Creating a new Future:

f1 := NewFuture(func() (string, error) {
    time.Sleep(1000)
    return "F1", nil
})

Waiting for its result:

result := f1.Get()

Discarding the Future in case it's not needed:

f3 := NewFuture(func() (string, error) {
    time.Sleep(100)
    fmt.Println("I'm done!")
    return "F3", nil
})
f3.Cancel()

Installation

./install.sh

This will set your Go to development version that supports generics and provides you with go2go tool
