There is a new future
summary
Claims that std::future is broken and shows an open‑source alternative (stlab) that adds continuations, when_all/when_any, split and cancellation, a custom executor model and does not block on destruction. Library targets C++14 with Boost Optional dependency, follows C++17 TS ideas, and demonstrates building persistent processing graphs with CSP‑style channels so a graph can be reused instead of rebuilt, plus examples of joining, splitting and routing work across executors.
