async-dejafu
============
The [async][] library provides a higher-level interface over threads,
allowing users to conveniently run IO operations asynchronously and
wait for their results. This package is a reimplementation of async
using the `MonadConc` abstraction from [dejafu][], providing
easy-to-use asynchronous operaitons within an easily-testable
framework.
When these functions are used in an IO context, the behaviour should
appear identical to the original async package.
The documentation of the latest developmental version is
[available online][docs].
