This is very cool, glad to see it! I couldn’t figure out which version of the JVM you used for the core.async tests? Also, you are using old versions of both Clojure and core.async which have both had optimizations in the last year that sho

It was hand drawn by an artist. Indiana Jones (the obvious inspiration) wore two belts, one for his pants, one for his whip/holster. The code was provided by Rich.

Many people use it in ways that have no ties to the JVM - ClojureScript on the web, Babashka for scripting, ClojureDart for Dart apps, etc.

Correct, it will be on the CultRepo channel.

Thanks for the feedback! Flow monitor does now support filters on the process state (and more on that it is coming to flow itself soon). If you were able to use monitor, it shows the channel buffer states, I guess that was not sufficient to

Note that newer things are always downloaded less because they have been around less time (lots of people continue using old versions). Maven stats are available to artifact deployers, but they are useless for estimating users or community

When you deploy a flow, you choose the workload type (:compute, :io, or :mixed) and the process will be deployed with the appropriate thread type.

Flow is intended for processes with long-running stable topologies. Rich has been thinking about options to "patch" the running topology but it is quite tricky due to the concurrency issues and I'm not sure that will ever be

Rich Hickey actually did a talk called "Language of the System" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROor6_NGIWU way back in 2013 before core.async was even created that lays out a lot of the ideas. It even has a big s

Clojure's focus on immutable data and pure functions side-step a lot of the trickiest issues with virtual threads. It's often not hard to isolate the I/O parts of your program into flow processes at the edges that can be mapp

I don't think it would be feasible or wise to structure core.async to use Structured Concurrency, although Structured Concurrency is trying to tackle some of the same problems as flow but in a different way (more akin to data flow styl

Fixed, thx.

Virtual thread support in core.async is imminent, should land any day now.

The absolute number of survey respondents is not a good proxy for community size - the survey runs at different times of the year, for different lengths of time, and with different amounts of marketing. The only goal with the survey is to g

The annual Clojure/conj conference is coming up next month in Alexandria, VA ( https://2024.clojure-conj.org ) and there will be talks from a variety of companies, both big and small.

Having done substantial work in both Java and Clojure, my experience with abstraction in both is that in Java, making things more abstract almost always involves making the code larger (adding more interfaces, extending existing types to th

Generally for streams, the equivalent in Clojure with sequences or transducers is much cleaner and simpler so there was not a lot of reason to want them from Clojure. However, it is important to provide interop paths to work with Java libs

Using (add-lib 'thi.ng/geom) is sufficient here - it uses the newest version by default.

It continues to exist and is in use. Lots of work has been done on a successor, but that is stalled while we consider what we want to do on various things.

The number of parentheses is the same, they're just in a different place. Isn't it tiring to type so many semi-colons and commas all the time?

Generally, custom seqs (rare) are implemented by leveraging something like `lazy-seq`, so library authors are also not using it. Yes, it would be good if there were javadoc on more of the impl, but this is just not an issue for the vast maj

You don’t use the ISeq interface directly, you use them through the clojure.core API. The seq abstraction is documented at https://clojure.org/reference/sequences
