//! Asynchronous values. //! //! ## Base Futures Concurrency //! //! Often it's desireable to await multiple futures as if it was a single //! future. The `join` family of operations converts multiple futures into a //! single future that returns all of their outputs. The `race` family of //! operations converts multiple future into a single future that returns the //! first output. //! //! For operating on futures the following functions can be used: //! //! | Name | Return signature | When does it return? | //! | --- | --- | --- | //! | [`Future::join`] | `(T1, T2)` | Wait for all to complete //! | [`Future::race`] | `T` | Return on first value //! //! ## Fallible Futures Concurrency //! //! For operating on futures that return `Result` additional `try_` variants of //! the functions mentioned before can be used. These functions are aware of `Result`, //! and will behave slightly differently from their base variants. //! //! In the case of `try_join`, if any of the futures returns `Err` all //! futures are dropped and an error is returned. This is referred to as //! "short-circuiting". //! //! In the case of `try_race`, instead of returning the first future that //! completes it returns the first future that _successfully_ completes. This //! means `try_race` will keep going until any one of the futures returns //! `Ok`, or _all_ futures have returned `Err`. //! //! However sometimes it can be useful to use the base variants of the functions //! even on futures that return `Result`. Here is an overview of operations that //! work on `Result`, and their respective semantics: //! //! | Name | Return signature | When does it return? | //! | --- | --- | --- | //! | [`Future::join`] | `(Result, Result)` | Wait for all to complete //! | [`Future::try_join`] | `Result<(T1, T2), E>` | Return on first `Err`, wait for all to complete //! | [`Future::race`] | `Result` | Return on first value //! | [`Future::try_race`] | `Result` | Return on first `Ok`, reject on last Err //! //!
