Hi, about core.async/thread: is the code running in a core.async thread or a JVM thread?

@viebel it runs in a thread pool (JVM thread)

Thanks @dominicm

Is there a way to subscribe to all the topics of a pub

?

@viebel interesting question - if I was doing that I would make a mult then create two tap instances of the mult, one of which becomes the pub the other you listen to directly - but I'm not sure that's the simplest answer (it would work though)

A bit complicated @noisesmith

If there is no simple way to do it in core.async, there is probably a good reason

right, I assume there's something simpler

really what you want is both fan out and fan in, but it's simpler to capture the messages before the fan out and use that as your fan-in

I'd disagree regarding "probably a good reason". These are conveniences and none of the operations describe contradict good core.async usage.

I'd welcome an explanation of why I'm wrong though - not an expert on this aspect of core.async, just trying to help as much as I can.

That's the best way to do it I'd say

Also, I would argue that this is indeed simple in the sense of composing complex behavior from simple parts 🙂

Fuuny that is exactly what I wanted to do today and I opted for the mult/pub solution
