[basex-talk] async module vs xq-promise

Hi all,

I just started to use the async module and I guess I am out of sync about the relation to xq-promise:

Basex now has asyn:fork-join which exectues in parallel and comes back with all results

xq-promise has p:fork-join which seems to be the previous implementation

Could I swap one for the other?

Side note: async:eval which works like xquery:eval is great, but I have to do something like this for functions:

``` let $ids := async:eval("declare variable $f external; declare variable $name external; $f($name)", map { 'f': '_:get-meta', 'name' : $name })

return $ids ```

With get-meta being a local function that accepts a single parameter. Is there an easier way to do this?

Regards,

Max
