Bridging core.async
Clojure's core.async
is one of those Clojure features that makes you love asynchronous programming. While not included in Clojure core, it is straight and easy to put into use and makes Clojure's STM a breeze to use. Unfortunately, most of the examples that can be found on core.async
make it a bit hard to see how to connect it and plug things together with the rest of your current code and other frameworks.
This recipe wants to close the gap and help you bring out more core.async
code out there.
Getting ready
This recipe is largely based on core.async
, but we will use a few other libraries. Here's a sample dependencies section for your project.clj
file:
:dependencies [ [org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"] [org.clojure/core.async "0.2.374"] ...
