Anyone seeking a solution to manage waiting times for a function to return True, in various modes
About waiting
waiting is a small library for waiting for stuff to happen. It basically waits for a function to return True, in various modes. Waiting is compatible with flux for simulated timelines. The most basic usage is when you have a function you want to wait for. Waiting forever is very simple. If your predicate returns a value, it will be returned as the result of wait(). A timeout parameter can also be specified. When a timeout expires without the predicate being fulfilled, an exception is thrown. Sleeping polls the predicate at a certain interval (by default 1 second). The interval can be changed with the sleep_seconds argument. When waiting for multiple predicates, waiting provides two simple facilities to help aggregate them, any and all. They resemble Python’s built-in any() and all(), except that they don’t call a predicate once it has been satisfied (this is useful when the predicates are inefficient and take time to complete).

Cruxi
Cruxi is a vertical AI platform built specifically for medical device regulatory teams. It ingests FDA regulations, guidance, product codes, standards, MAUDE events, recalls, and prior 510(k) data to power agentic workflows for 510(k), De Novo, and eSTAR. Users can run rapid device classification, compare predicates, plan evidence, and generate fully cited, eSTAR-aligned content for each subsection of the submission. Cruxi offers both full-submission workflows and focused micro-services (e.g., classification, predicate analysis, specific section drafting), making it ideal for early-stage startups, in-house regulatory teams, and consultants who want to deliver high-quality submissions with less manual work and fewer surprises from FDA.

FF4J
Feature flags for java made easy. Enable. and disable features at runtime - no deployment. Implement multiple paths in your code with predicates evaluated dynamically (if/then/else). Enable features not only with flag values but also drive access with roles and groups (Canary Release). Different frameworks supported starting by Spring Security. Implement custom predicates (Strategy Pattern) to evaluate if a feature is enabled. Some are provided out of the box: White/Black lists ,Time based, Expression based. Connect external source like a Drools rule engine. Keep your code clean and readable: Avoid nested if statements but use annotations. Thanks to Spring AOP target implementation is pick at runtime, and thus driven by feature statuses. For each features execution, ff4j evaluates the predicate therefore it's possible to collect and record events, metrics to compute nice dashboards or draw curves for features usage over time.
