Introduction

What is libfuture-asyncawait-perl

libfuture-asyncawait-perl is:

Future::AsyncAwait provides syntax for deferring and resuming subroutines while waiting for Futures to complete. This syntax aims to make code that performs asynchronous operations using futures look neater and more expressive than simply using then chaining and other techniques on the futures themselves. It is also a similar syntax used by a number of other languages; notably C# 5, EcmaScript 6, Python 3, and lately even Rust is considering adding it.

The new syntax takes the form of two new keywords, async and await.
