Mention Future.pm in SEE ALSO #64

Closed yanick closed 5 years ago

Subset of #63

It'd be useful to have some mention of Future.pm, and maybe AnyEvent's condvars as well, perhaps in the SEE ALSO section. Since they're covering similar ground, a link and possibly a few comments about how Promises.pm compares to them in intent and functionality could be helpful to new users.

Note to self: mention in the comparison between Future and Promise the big difference (for me). I.e., that with futures you need to keep an instance of the original promise around (or the weak ref will garbage collect it), whereas with Promises that's not necessary.
