The Future is an alternative to Promise that has a much more powerful API,
implementation of undo (undo), safe "recursion",
"error-free" execution (using either), and a small cart of cool features.
-
of(Any)- creates Future from the given value -
map(Function)- transforms the resolution value inside the Future or Functor, and returns a Future or Functor with the new value. -
chain(Function)- Sequence a new Future or Chain using the resolution value from another. Similarly to map, chain expects a function. But instead of returning the new value, chain expects a Future (or instance of the same Chain) to be returned. -
fork(Function, Function)- starts the execution of Future

You can use fluture-js library to work with Futures.
Fluture offers a control structure similar to Promises, Tasks, Deferreds, and what-have-you.
