Title: A Distributed Worker Launcher Framework
Description: In computationally demanding analysis projects,
        statisticians and data scientists asynchronously deploy
        long-running tasks to distributed systems, ranging from
        traditional clusters to cloud services. The 'NNG'-powered
        'mirai' R package by Gao (2023) <doi:10.5281/zenodo.7912722> is
        a sleek and sophisticated scheduler that efficiently processes
        these intense workloads. The 'crew' package extends 'mirai'
        with a unifying interface for third-party worker launchers.
        Inspiration also comes from packages. 'future' by Bengtsson
