A cool thing about Doug Lea's java.util.concurrent (received a 10/10 rating here) is that its design also inspired Python's concurrent.futures package. This is explicitly acknowledged in PEP 3148[1] (under "Rationale"), a PEP that dates back to 2009.

That is why I think of java when using python's concurrent.future package.
