I've used them in cases where I think I need a future, but I don't want to wrap the future around some function just to catch and propagate its result elsewhere. In Clojure, the `future' and `future' call functions include the spawning of the function's execution in another thread. That's really several separate concerns: future = function + promise + async + deliver Exposing `promise' and `deliver' directly allows one to use other means of spawning asynchronous work (or not) while still retaining the block-on-a-latching-result capability. -- Steven E.
