Well, the println(s()) will first wait for the result of s,
but -due to the definition of s- that doesn't come now, but
in future.
Due to the functional aspect, this is true for every point in time.
(I would recommend renaming the val s into val godot,
and then putting the println(godot()) into a method called
"mañana"...).
