make anything async with AsyncAnything!
imagine you have a heavy function in the main Event-Loop
proc AssumeItsHugeAmountOfWork(a: int): int=
sleep 1000 * 10
return a + 1
with this small library you can pass it to another thread and fake it as a async function! Wow you're a genius!
let b = goAsync AssumeItsHugeAmountOfWork()
# or
let b = |>AssumeItsHugeAmountOfWork()
the idea is that you pass it to another thread and you check it every timeout milliseconds.
you can pass the timeout like this:
let b = goAsync(AssumeItsHugeAmountOfWork(), 100)
but by default it's value is fakeAsyncTimeout which is 100.
you can also change it's value at the compile time with -d:fakeAsyncTimeout=<N> to your ideal timeout [ here <N> is an integer ]
limitations
there are some limitation when you want to run a non-return closure proc.
