Is it possible to cancel a future?
<john98zakaria[m]>
If there exists a future_cancelled exception, then somewhere a user was able to invoke it
<K-ballo>
some continuations are cancellable
<K-ballo>
you don't cancel the future, the future is just the result, you cancel the provider
<john98zakaria[m]>
Ah does the cancellation happen preemptively, or does a running task have to finish?
