Future

abstract class Future[+T] extends Responder[T] with () ⇒ T

A function of arity 0, returing a value of type T that, when applied, blocks the current actor (Actor.self) until the future's value is available.

A future can be queried to find out whether its value is already available without blocking.

(Since version 2.11.0) Use the scala.concurrent.Future instead. For migration from the scala.actors package refer to the Actors Migration Guide.
