Answer 1

Can you import anything from the scala.async package at all ?
The scala.async package is not automatically imported in Scala.
To use it, you need to add it as a dependency to your project.
This depends on the build tool you use for your project.
If you use sbt, you need to add this dependency to your build.sbt:
libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-async" % "1.0.1"
libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang" % "scala-reflect" % scalaVersion.value % Provided
For maven, you should add this in your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.scala-lang.modules</groupId>
<artifactId>scala-async_2.13</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.scala-lang</groupId>
<artifactId>scala-reflect</artifactId>
<version>2.13.8</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
You might need to check your Scala version, as per the official documentation:
As of scala-async 1.0, Scala 2.12.12+ or 2.13.3+ are required.
Also, be sure to check if you need to to enable compiler support for async.
You will find everything I provided in more detail at their official documentation. You should also check their github to see the latest release.
