Henrik BengtssonThe future package turns ten today 🥳 To celebrate, I’ll start a blog series covering recent improvements that set us up for new, exciting ways for writing concurrent #RStats - neater than what our trusty workhorses future.apply & furrr offer
The future package celebrates ten years on CRAN as of June 19, 2025. I just posted the first of a series of blog posts highlighting recent improvements to the #futureverse ecosystem:

Future got better at finding global variables
The 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.

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
Setting Future Plans in R Functions — and Why You Probably Shouldn't
The 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.
