Futures in Scala 2.12 (part 6): Missing utilities: unit & never

Read Original

This technical blog post, part of a series on Scala 2.12 Futures, discusses the absence and utility of two specific methods: Future.unit and Future.never. It explains how Future.unit acts as a cached zero/default instance, and how Future.never provides a memory-leak-safe representation of a Future that never completes, including code examples and scenarios where they are beneficial.
