Welcome to the Future

Spirited Scala developers might have gotten their hands dirty time-travelling with Future. Future is a simple way of running workflows/algorithms concurrently/parallelly. Despite being simple (though heavily used), newcomers often find it difficult to reason about its usage. There could be myriad reasons for this confusion which probably stems from misapprehension about how Future works, how it interacts with Execution Contexts. Going ‘Back to the Future’ this talk discusses the nitty-gritty of Future’s space-time continuum.
