 In AmbientTalk, futures are not native to the language. However, because of AmbientTalk's reflective infrastructure, it is possible to build futures on top of the language. The system library shipped with AmbientTalk contains exactly this: a reflective implementation that adds futures to the language kernel. This implementation can be found in the file ''at/lang/futures.at''. In AmbientTalk, futures are not native to the language.
