Sorry, that was a typo, I should have written “resumability” , i.e. 
pause/resume.


Can you also elaborate what do you mean by «reusability»? Ability to do 
something like future.restart(); ?

In my understanding a future represents a single result of a computation which 
will be available sometime in future, it doesn’t assume reusability, progress 
reporting, etc. If you take a look to other implementations of a future (like 
boost::future, folly::future or std::experimental::future), none of them has 
this “extra” functionality similar to QFuture, none of them represents a set of 
results as QFuture does. This may be confusing for people who are expecting 
QFuture to be a typical future they are used to, and I actually saw some 
complains about that.

Best regards,
Sona

Can you please elaborate the difference?

Additionally, there are some discussions about QFuture being a mix between a 
“Task” and a “Future”. One of the options of improving this situation is to 
make a QTask (or QJob) out of the current QFuture. But then the question is: 
should we also support a “classic” QFuture? Is there a value in having it, when 
there are already some very advanced implementations of a future?
