Interesting read, thanks.
Just some braindump. How about async calls and future.
sub f is async returns future {
# your favorite expensive operations here
return $something;
}
my $x = f();
# some more expensive operations here
# this part executes concurrently
# with f() ...
# ... until the future is read for
# the first time; this will block until
# the value is available
say($x);
