Future combinators about amp HOT 8 CLOSED

See https://github.com/amphp/amp/blob/3.x/src/Future/functions.php. You probably want awaitAll().

@Bilge , no, I want a function that immediately returns a single Future, not awaited result.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, I am talking about a function like React\Promise\all. It returns Promise, not awaited result array like await in amphp.

Returns a promise that will resolve only once all the items in $promisesOrValues have resolved. The resolution value of the returned promise will be an array containing the resolution values of each of the items in $promisesOrValues.

Let me put it this way:

Amp\Future\await() is callable(iterable<TKey, Future<TValue>>): array<TKey, TValue>

But I want callable(iterable<TKey, Future<TValue>>): Future<array<TKey, TValue>>

@Bilge , does it make sense now? I can give an example of problem I am solving.

Here are similar methods/functions in other langiuages: JS, C#. Note that return type is different from Amp\Future\await or Amp\Future\awaitAll.

You can wrap it in async() if you really need that, but we use futures rarely with fibers, only when necessary.

Thank you, @kelunik, that makes sense! After three days of experimenting with amphp 3 I now understand, why await combinators are much more useful.
