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…

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.

FYI, the canonical version (recut slides / video / audio) of this talk can now be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxdOUGdseq4

Rich's opening remarks from Clojure/Conj 2025 were just published and might be an interesting complement to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLDwbhuNvZo

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 t…

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 deploy…

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 concurren…

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 …

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…

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 f…

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…

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 sma…

If you're interested in learning more about Clojure, check out the Clojure/conj conference Oct 23-25 in Alexandria, VA. https://2024.clojure-conj.org :)

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 la…

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 i…
