Eager Future

I just put up the common-lisp.net project page for Eager Future, a library for concurrent programming with composable, eager futures (see this LtU discussion of what that means).

Eager Future is a rewrite of Marijn Haverbeke's PCall library (I've blogged about PCall and extending it with support for composition before). Unlike PCall, Eager Future executes futures eagerly, which lets you use the futures composition mechanism for soft real-time programming.

Vladimir,

thanks!! I've been looking for a future library for some time.

I'll download the library to check it.
