# Woven

## What is Woven?

Woven is built on top of `em_synchrony` in order to take advantage of its event-driven I/O and concurrency model.

It provides a clean interface for using Promises's and Future's similar to Scala and JavaScript in an asychronous style. Go Channels are also implemented on top of `em_synchrony`.

Futures are composable so new futures can created in an asynchronous manner.

### An example of using Woven with Futures

Here is an example of how to use futures in Woven.

```ruby

f3 = nil

Woven.run do

  f1 = future { "Hello, " }

  f2 = future { "world!" }

  f3 = f1 + f2 # You can combine two futures together

end

```

To get access to the value within the future.

```ruby

f3.value => "Hello, world!"

```

### An example of using Woven with Channels

Here is an example of how to use channels in Woven.

```ruby

c = Channel.new

value = nil

Woven.run do

  future { c.send(1) } 

  future { value = c.receive }

end  

puts value => 1

```
