> CompletionStage is the obscure parent superinterface for the CompletableFuture gateway API. Hence it is mostly functionally equivalent. What's so surprising about that?<br>

> What I find strangest about this, is that you started with CompletableFuture yourself: <a href="https://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/2016/02/25/the-promise-of-completablefuture-jax-rs2-example/">https://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/2016/02/25/the-promise-of-completablefuture-jax-rs2-example/</a>. You should already understand the issue of familiarity for that reason alone. If CompletionStage is so great why didn't you write about it? You are hardly alone. Look at pretty much everyone that speaks or write on the topic. They all start with CompletebleFuture unsurprisingly.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Cause it is used as a promise which is irrelevant for cdi topic.</p>
