+# Async utilities package
+
+Contains tools to work with asynchronous computations.
+
+The package contains `Stream` and `Future` related functionality,
+as well as sub-libraries with different utilities.
+
+### Zipping streams
+
+The "stream_zip.dart" sub-library contains functionality
+to combine several streams of events into a single stream of tuples of events.
+
+### Results
+The "result.dart" sub-library introduces a `Result` class that can hold either
+a value or an error.
+It allows capturing an asynchronous computation which can give either a value
+or an error, into an asynchronous computation that always gives a `Result`
+value, where errors can be treated as data.
+It also allows releasing the `Result` back into an asynchronous computation.
+
+### History.
+This package is unrelated to the discontinued `async` package with version 0.1.7.
+
