About the Talk:
The ‘future’ package provides a minimal and unifying framework for asynchronous, parallel, and distributed computing in R. It is being used to run R code in parallel on the local computer, on remote machines, in the cloud, and on high-performance computing. Popular packages such as 'shiny’, ‘plumber’, and ‘drake’ use futures internally. I will explain what futures are, discuss common feature requests, recent progress, and what is on the roadmap.
