Nifty

Documentation.

Nifty is a library of asynchronous utilities for everyday programmers.

Major features:

• Streams (based on Java 8)
• Channels (based loosely on Go)
• Futures / Promises

Minor features:

• Continuation monad
• Either enum

---

Nifty's concurrency is implemented via DispatchKit.

(1..<100).stream()
  .map { $0 * 2 }
  .flatMap { ($0..<100).stream() }
  .reduce(0, combine: +) // Run asynchronously. Returns Future
  .onComplete { print($0) }

Streams

Documentation.

Use streams to get seamless concurrent and lazy composition of data.

Futures

Documentation.

Use futures to easily perform operations asynchronously, without callback hell.

Channels

Documentation.

Channels allow you to easily receive data from other threads.
