Scala - ScheduledFuture

Question

I am trying to implement scheduled future in Scala. I would like it to wait specific time and then execute the body. So far I tried the following, simple approach

Answer 1

My solution is pretty similar to Régis's but I use Akka to schedule:

 def delayedFuture[T](delay: FiniteDuration)(block: => T)(implicit executor : ExecutionContext): Future[T] = {
    val promise = Promise[T]

    Akka.system.scheduler.scheduleOnce(delay) {
      try {
        val result = block
        promise.complete(Success(result))
      } catch {
        case t: Throwable => promise.failure(t)
      }
    }
    promise.future
  }
