;;; Commentary:

;; 'deferred.el' is a simple library for asynchronous tasks.
;; [https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-deferred]

;; The API is almost the same as JSDeferred written by cho45. See the
;; JSDeferred and Mochikit.Async web sites for further documentations.
;; [https://github.com/cho45/jsdeferred]
;; [http://mochikit.com/doc/html/MochiKit/Async.html]

;; A good introduction document (JavaScript)
;; [http://cho45.stfuawsc.com/jsdeferred/doc/intro.en.html]

;;; Samples:

;; ** HTTP Access

;; (require 'url)
;; (deferred:$
;;   (deferred:url-retrieve "http://www.gnu.org")
;;   (deferred:nextc it
;;     (lambda (buf)
;;       (insert  (with-current-buffer buf (buffer-string)))
;;       (kill-buffer buf))))

;; ** Invoking command tasks

;; (deferred:$
;;   (deferred:process "wget" "-O" "a.jpg" "http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/images/splash.png")
;;   (deferred:nextc it
;;     (lambda (x) (deferred:process "convert" "a.jpg" "-resize" "100x100" "jpg:b.jpg")))
