A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I’m going to re-ask my question, because I think it wasn’t very clear before:

Some functions in the library I’m building return `CompletableFuture`s.  I have been recommending that my users take advantage of Kotlin’s coroutines to handle these in a synchronous manner, eg.
```
  doStuff()
  doMoreStuff()
  future {
     val completableFuture = createCompletableFuture()
     val a = completableFuture.await() + 5
     ...
  }
```
My users don’t really care about whatever is returned by `future`, so long as the code inside the `future` block gets executed.

The problem is that if any method inside the `future` block throws an exception, it appears to be swallowed silently.

My sense is that I shouldn’t be suggesting they use `future`, but I’m not sure how I can recommend they do this in a way that won’t silently swallow exceptions.

Advice appreciated?
