/** \mainpage Continuable
\section mainpage-overview Overview
<b>Continuable is a C++14 library that provides full support for:</b>
- lazy async continuation chaining based on **callbacks** (`then`) and
expression templates, callbacks are wrapped nicely as promises.
- **no enforced type-erasure** which means we need <b>less heap
allocations</b> than comparable libraries, strictly following the <b>"don't
pay for what you don't use"</b> principle.
- support for **connections** between continuables through an **all, any or
sequential** strategy through expressive operator overloads **&&**,
<b>||</b> and <b>>></b>.
- asynchronous **error handling** through exceptions, error coded or
user defined types.
- **syntactic sugar** for instance: **partial invocation**, **tuple unpacking**
and **executors**.
- **encapsuled from any runtime**, larger framework or executor making
it possible to use continuable even in smaller or esoteric usage scenarios.
\section mainpage-getting-started Getting started
Continuable is a header-only library with zero compilation dependencies.
The \ref installation is explained in its own chapter.
The \ref tutorial is everything you need in order to get to know the libraries
API. Beside of this there is a detailed in-source documentation provided.
\section mainpage-contact Contributing and Questions
Through the [Github issue tracker](https://github.com/Naios/continuable/issues)
you are welcomed to ask for questions, contribute code or request new features.
Also I would like to hear your personal opinion about the library design or
your personal experience in using the library to improve it.
\note
If you like the library I would be glad if you star it on Github,
because it helps other users to find this library.
