 === The Concept ===
-The most well-known language feature to reconcile return values with asynchronous message sends is the notion of a [[Wp>Future_%28programming%29|future]]. Futures are objects that represent return values that may not yet have been computed. Once the asynchronously invoked method has completed, the future is replaced with the actual return value, and objects that referred to the future transparently refer to the return value.

 Using futures, it is possible to re-implement the previous example of requesting our calculator actor to add two numbers as follows:
