I'm a huge fan of Finagle futures, which this project seems to draw a lot of inspiration from. My biggest challenge is actually the fact that Folly as a dependency is so heavyweight memory wise: I have trouble building anything on my laptop with 4 gigabytes of memory. Most of the Folly code is template code - I guess lots of template code leads to large memory compile time footprints?

Anyway - great project. I'd love to use it sometime maybe when I get a bigger dev machine.

Yes, templates are expensive at compile time (memory and time both). folly/futures only depends on a few pieces of folly/, you may find that you can use the futures headers just fine. If building libfolly is the showstopper, you might be able to comment out all the non-dependent files.
