boxlang-async-programming

What problem does it solve?

BoxLang async constructs simplify building scalable, non-blocking logic by coordinating futures, executors, and async pipelines across IO and CPU tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• BoxFuture extends standard futures with BoxLang-friendly chaining for ergonomic async flows.
• Create futures with futureNew, run async tasks with asyncRun, and compose pipelines using then/thenAsync with robust error handling.
• Build parallel and distributed workflows including asyncAll, asyncAny, asyncAllApply, and named executors to optimize resource usage.
• Use cases include non-blocking API calls, parallel data processing, and scheduled task coordination within BoxLang apps.

Quick Start

Create a BoxLang workflow that demonstrates futureNew, asyncRun, and then chaining with then and onError.
