(>!! (:channel channel) {:msg-type :update :data {:msg value}})

as in view the message on the channel (view the channel contents) or read the value off the channel?

view it.

there is this: http://tgk.github.io/2013/10/inspect-core-async-channels.html

thank you!

Yeah don’t do that

That is expert level impl breakage and not something useful day-to-day

The core.async API allows putting things into a channel and taking things out. There no such thing as a “view” or “get,” just put and take

yeah, I've only used things like that for debugging things (there is another post somewhere on doing that w/o doing a new protocol). It at least let me see that things were languishing on a particular channel while I was trying to set up the flow of things

okay
