The future package celebrates ten years on CRAN as of June 19, 2025. I just posted the second in a series of blog posts highlighting recent improvements to the #futureverse ecosystem:

* Setting Future Plans in R Functions - and Why You Probably Shouldn't

available at jottr.org/2025/06/25/with-plan/

You can now do:

my_fcn <- function(...) {
with(plan(multisession), local = TRUE)
...
}

but, as explained in the post, I recommend not doing any that, unless really needed

JottR · Setting Future Plans in R Functions — and Why You Probably Shouldn'tThe future package celebrates ten years on CRAN as of June 19, 2025. This is the second in a series of blog posts highlighting recent improvements to the futureverse ecosystem. TL;DR You can now use my_fcn <- function(...) { with(plan(multisession), local = TRUE) ... } to temporarily set a future backend for use in your function. This guarantees that any changes are undone when the function exits, even if there is an error or an interrupt.

* Future got better at finding global variables

JottR · Future got better at finding global variablesThe future package celebrates ten years on CRAN as of June 19, 2025. This is the first of a series of blog posts highlighting recent improvements to the futureverse ecosystem. The globals package is part of the futureverse and has had two recent releases on 2025-04-15 and 2025-05-08. These updates address a few corner cases that would otherwise lead to unexpected errors. They also resulted in several long, outstanding issues reported on the future, future.

Driving down Dizzy Street
I took a turn for the worse

Navigated right off the damn map
to a far out place I could not comprehend

The road sign was spinning rapidly
making the blur of words
impossible to read

So I started rotating myself
with equal velocity
for some much needed
#parallel perspective

Only then could I understand
the meaning
of the formerly
muddled message

“WELCOME TO DISORIENTED”

Now I knew exactly
where I was
and more importantly
how to navigate back
to the place
from whence I came

All I had to do to rectify
my untenable situation
was to apply
the physics of perspective
and angular velocity
to achieve the desired
perceptual stabilizing effect

Or I could just keep drinking
til I pass out

Liberating the future!

I'm happy to share that major progress has been made on the #Futureverse roadmap. Already the next release comes with new, exciting, frequently asked features, and more are ready to ship in following release.

Release candidate #1 of the 'future' package is now available on R-universe;

install.packages("future", repos = c("futureverse.r-universe.dev", "cloud.r-project.org'))

Please give it a try🙏 As usual, these updates should be 100% backward.
