Abstract
Embodiments described herein are directed to a programming language trigger mechanism. The trigger mechanism is a small piece of code that a software developer utilizes in a computer program. The trigger mechanism enables computing operations or tasks to be performed asynchronously and in a parallel fashion. In particular, logic (e.g., operations or tasks) associated with the trigger mechanism are provided to a plurality of resources for processing in parallel. Each resource asynchronously processes the task provided thereto and asynchronously provides the result. The results are asynchronously returned as an enumeration. The enumeration enables the software developer to enumerate through the returned elements as a simple stream of results as they are calculated.
