I've meant playing with the idea for a programming language.

With Future I've meant would it be easy to put a Future based API which I like b/c of composiblity on top of Quasar, e.g. on top of fibers.

(Futures are just an API to concurrency not concurrency itself that can sit on actors, forkjoin, ...)

Then sure. But check out this talk/blog post, which explains why such monadic futures are not a good way to compose asynchronous code: http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/2015/08/07/scoped-continuati...
