Async / Await Example

This example demonstrates how TechScript uses async functions and the await keyword to run non-blocking, concurrent operations.

Code (async.txs)

async do fetch_resource(resource_name)
say $"[Async] Starting fetch for: {resource_name}"
# Sleep to simulate network delay
sleep(200)
send $"Data: {resource_name} content"
end
async do run_main()
say "Spawning resource futures..."
future_a = fetch_resource("Config")
future_b = fetch_resource("User Profile")
say "Awaiting Config..."
data_a = await future_a
say $"[Done] {data_a}"
say "Awaiting User Profile..."
data_b = await future_b
say $"[Done] {data_b}"
end
await run_main()

Running the Example

tech run async.txs

Expected Output

Spawning resource futures...
[Async] Starting fetch for: Config
[Async] Starting fetch for: User Profile
Awaiting Config...
[Done] Data: Config content
Awaiting User Profile...
[Done] Data: User Profile content
