Excellent library and writeup !!

This is very similar to HPX, the general purpose C++ runtime system for parallel and distributed applications by the Stellar Group - https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx.

I recently saw the excellent video presentation by Hartmut Kaiser on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xyztU__yys and a lot of concepts in folly futures are quite similar. However the most striking thing in HPX was that all the building blocks are serializable, and the presenter mentioned that it is so because you could serialize and move a thread to a different machine and run it there.

Kaiser also gave a pretty good keynote at Meeting C++, "Plain Threads are the GOTO of todays computing:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OCUEgSNIAY

Same talk maybe?
