Perhaps, but is it a common term for Python programmers (or the target
population for Python)? I've never heard of it. "futures" to me are
futures contracts in a trading environment (that's the industry I work in).
No matter how well known the term is in the environment where it's used
today you have to be sensitive to other meanings of the term.
