type Future = (func: Function, default: Any = None) => {
    // The value of the async function
    value: Any,
    // If the value is ready
    ready: Boolean,
    // If the async function has finished
    finished: Boolean,
    // Checks if the value is ready
    is_ready: () => Boolean,
    // Returns value if ready, else returns the default [Non-blocking]
    get: () => Any,
    // Waits for the value to be ready, then returns it [Blocking]
