Hi all

I am trying to get a rough overview of how Async is implemented (or the
idea behind it) before I really dig into its source code.

I have the following questions:

*Q1:* Is Async event-loop like?

From the API and some docs for Async's usage, I feel it is quite like a
event-loop.

You create Deferred.t and it might be added to a queue and a scheduler
behind might be adjusting the order of running for all Deferred.t in the
queue.

Am I correct?

*Q2:* Deferred.return and Deferred.bind

If I say

Deferred.return 1


It will returns me a Deferred.t, but inside the function *return* or *bind*
somehow an "event" is implicitly added to the default queue for scheduling,
right?

If I am correct above,

*Q3:* Is Async depending on -thread? The queue or scheduler needs compiler
support?

I just need to understand the whole picture in a rough way first.

Thanks

Dan
