C# Futures Counterpart - Pasts

In the many core world we now live in, programmers have begun to pay more attention to threading, immutability and functional style programming. For those of you keen to these trends, you may have heard of futures or promises. These constructs act as proxies for values that are yet to be calculated and are typically used to aid with synchronization issues in concurrent programming languages, such as C#. Similar to futures, pasts, are a useful and almost unheard of construct that helps developers maintain previously calculated values. Pasts are not a C# language feature, but they are easy to develop on your own.
