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 (2021) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-048>, rrq by FitzJohn
