@dougmerritt @munificent After reading this, I started to wonder if there's a way to automatically defer promise/future resolution until the value is actually needed. Something along the lines of: buf = ReadFileIntoNewBuf (filename); // buf is of type Promise do_stuff(); do_more_stuff(); do_stuff_with_file_contents (buf); // buf is automatically resolved; possibly promoted to type uint8_t[], or ResolvedPromise. I'm almost certainly not the first to wonder about this...
