is core/async deterministic enough to use for low-latency games?

I could just try it of course

yeah I'd be curious to know how it works out for you. timeout resolution is 10ms at the moment

I don’t know if I’d use timeout for anything fine-grained

I’ve been playing with some little games in Clojure

just using a “classic" game loop, but I could see something like core/async being very useful for coordinating AI and such

having multiple independent control flows going without coordinating threads would be great

I needed/wanted a clock signal with better accuracy than timeout so I wrote a timer-chan that uses the j.u.c scheduler

works pretty nicely with core.async; mediates with a dropping buffer, so if work takes longer than a tick for whatever reason, you just skip ticks

interesting

so it puts a value on the chan at a regular interval?

yea
