Alright imma say it: core.async is freaking sexy. I'm in love.

; define an async channel
(def log-chan (chan))

; start a process thread and wait for events on that channel
(thread
 (loop []
  (when-let [v (<!! log-chan)]
    (prinln v)
    (recur)))
 (prinln "Log Closed"))

; Define a function that adds events to the channel
(defn log [msg]
  (>!! log-chan msg))

; Call a log file
(log "foo")

I am well and proper getting nerdgasms here with this async video

This is seriously great stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enwIIGzhahw

@eslachance: Lot’s more at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhi8pL3xn1OTDGCyXnkZStox6yFjn2583 if you want to go further, though it does require a subscription (I find it worthwhile at that price though).

huh! I didn't even know youtube did that (the subs thing).

But yeah seriously that video from Timothy is just perfect, the kind of thing that gets me to learn and appreciate the language

I want more of that

The rest of his stuff is equally good

Oh it is him lol

Yep 🙂

It looks like he’s got another course at http://online-courses.startclass.com/l/79625/Communicating-Sequential-Processes-with-core-async but I’ve not watched that one.

My friend @oahner keeps telling me about stuff in clojure and he always gets me really interested but then I look at the stuff and I get scared with complexity. Finally I'll be able to follow along XD

Yeah, there’s so much interesting stuff that it’s pretty hard to know where to start. I found core.async and CSP super interesting when I first started but I’ve not found an actual use for it in my work, but the concepts from it (and many other things in Clojure) have completely changed how I think about things. It’s a pretty enjoyable journey and there’s always more to learn so I haven’t gotten bored yet.

I most definitely know what to use channels and stuff in. Unfortunately for some reason the code in the video doesn't work (probably because async changed) so I have to look into that

it was so elegant.. 😞

oh! nevermind I had to use async/chan instead of chan

I’m missing something… probably obvious? in the (ns :require) syntax I think

I just tried to move some functions into another ns… now I have src/cavalry-stats/core.clj and src/cavalry-stats/data.clj

in data.clj, the ns decl is (ns cavalry-stats.data … In core.clj, when I type (require ‘cavalry-stats.data) it works fine

Sorry, I mean when I type (require ‘cavalry-stats.data) and eval it

But when I try

(ns cavalry-stats.core
   (:require [ring.adapter.jetty :as jetty]
             [compojure.core :as compojure]
             [ring.util.http-response :as response]
             [ring.middleware.reload :refer [wrap-reload]]
             [ring.middleware.format :refer [wrap-restful-format]]
             [selmer.parser :as selmer]
             [cavalry-stats.data :as data]
             ))

I get an error, CompilerException java.lang.Exception: namespace 'cavalry-stats.data' not found, compiling:(cavalry_stats/core.clj:1:29)

I don't know if this is what's causing your problem, but the folders and files in src should have underlines instead of hyphens. So the file src/cavalry_stats/core.clj should have the ns (ns cavalry-stats.core)
