using futures.ascompleted construct about deco HOT 1 CLOSED

Thanks for asking about this! Here are my thoughts:

I don't think I'll be able to provide anything better than what already exists in the Python concurrent.futures module as far things like as_completed go. Definitely it would be possible for deco to support this kind of things, but I don't think deco should serve this purpose. Mainly it's just targeted at programmers who have little experience with parallel programming, I wanted to make it more accessible which in turn means deco needs to be simple. For simple programs I think deco can fill a certain need, but definitely for more complicated parallel programs other libraries will continue to be the best choice.

Your second question is a great thought, although I'm not sure there is a way in pure Python to annotate code at a granularity smaller than a function. Using decorators on functions also helps us avoid a lot more complicated data flow analysis which I think would otherwise be necessary if we were just annotating chunks of Python code.

I'm going to close this for now, but thanks for your input! I really appreciate it.
