Deferred lets you work with values that haven't been determined yet, like an array that's coming later (one day!) from a web service call. It was originally inspired by OCaml's Deferred library.
Deferred is a "futures library", probably like ones you've already heard about. Where Deferred aims to be different is by providing a small, efficient API that's easily adopted in our many consulting projects.
