Deferred

Warning

Deferred is deprecated in favor of Swift Concurrency. For migration hints, see Migrating to Swift Concurrency.

Deferred let you work with values that haven't been determined yet, like an array that's coming later (one day!) from a web service call. It was originally inspired by OCaml's Deferred library.

Deferred is a "futures library", probably like ones you've already heard about. Where Deferred aims to be different is by providing a small, efficient API that's easily adopted in our many consulting projects.
