Re: [akka-user] Re: akka.pattern.Patterns.after and akka.pattern.after

[Patrik Nordwall]

akka.pattern.Patterns.after is the Java API, you should
use akka.pattern.after from Scala.

It's anyway somewhat interesting, the Java API has two methods with
signatures

def after[T](duration: FiniteDuration, scheduler: Scheduler, context:
ExecutionContext, value: Callable[Future[T]]): Future[T]
def after[T](duration: FiniteDuration, scheduler: Scheduler, context:
ExecutionContext, value: Future[T]): Future[T]

The first one makes sense (and corresponds to the Scala API), but I don't
understand why the second is needed. You could always "run" the Future
before invoking after if you want early execution. Maybe some ancient
reason from the Java 6 days.
