Async now part of Scala

Something very much like my async-scala post has been included in Scala 2.10
http://docs.scala-lang.org/sips/pending/futures-promises.html

The 'await' has been replaced with on "onSuccess" method, which I'm not a fan of;
but making it work with for comprehensions is just awesom.

for all those programmer/theoretical physists


Some of my favorite hobby topics combined with perl programming:
"quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the very fabric of the space-time continuum"

I might have to try to implement some of these things in scala; might give the rods a miss though ;)
