Budoucnost

The term „Budoucnost“ translates to „Future“ in English. In computer science, „future“ typically refers to an abstraction used to represent a value that may be available at some point in the future, often as a result of asynchronous computation or a concurrent operation. A future acts as a placeholder for a result that is not yet computed but will be available eventually.

Futures are commonly found in concurrent programming models, where they facilitate the handling of tasks that can be executed in parallel. When a task is initiated, a future object is created to eventually hold the result of that task. The executing thread can continue with other work without waiting for the task to complete, and later retrieve the result from the future when needed.

Futures are closely associated with promises, which are similar constructs that represent a value that will be resolved later. Together, they enable more efficient resource management and improved responsiveness in applications, especially in scenarios involving I/O operations, network requests, or any long-running processes.
