+# Futures
+
+[Table of Contents](toc/english.html)
+
+---
+
+The crate [`futures-rs`](https://github.com/alexcrichton/futures-rs) is commonly used to build asyncronous functionality. It provides constructs similar to `Promise`s in Javascript.
+
+---
+
+## Notes on performance and usability
+
+* Rust does not have an implicit runtime event loop like Node.js.
+  + Tokio provides an explicit one.
+* Futures are a zero-cost abstraction.
+* The documentation for `futures-rs` is regarded as 'not good'.
+* The async ecosystem is still very young. Be patient!
+
+---
+
+## You've got oneshot
+
+`futures::sync::oneshot` provides a basic, single use future.
+
+They feel like a channel to use, even coming with a `tx` and `rx` pair.
+
+---
+
+## You've got oneshot

+<pre><code data-source="chapters/shared/code/futures/1.rs" data-trim="hljs rust" class="lang-rust"></code></pre>
+
+---
+
+## You've got oneshot
+
+What happens if we swap the `rx.wait()` and the `tx.send()`?
+
+There is **no** implicit threading, calling `rx.wait()` blocks the thread until data is received!
+

+
+---
+
+## Multiple oneshots

+
+---
+
+## 57 channels (and nothing on)
+
+An `futures::sync::mpsc` represents a channel that will yield a series of futures.
+
+`mpsc::channel` has a bounded buffer size, and is concerned with back pressure.
+
+`mpsc::unbounded` has no bounded size, and can grow to fit all of memory.

+## 57 channels (and nothing on)

+

+
+## Toes in the CPU pool
+
+`futures-rs` comes with [`futures_cpupool`](https://docs.rs/futures-cpupool/0.1.7/futures_cpupool/) which provides a simple, easy to use CPU Pool type.
+
+This allows for us to dispatch arbitrary (heterogeneous!) jobs to a pool without worrying about where (and when) it gets executed.

+
+## Interacting with futures
+
+Most of the times you will not be creating raw futures and sending them around.
+
+Instead, you'll likely end up interacting with them as part of a crate.
+
+Worry more about how to handle them, and work with them, than how to create and execute them.
