core-async 2023-03-22
Hey team, noob question. I am using core-async, and wanted to propagate errors. The solution I've found so far is using <? and go-try
The issue though, is that is kid of "colors" every function I use over a channel. For example:
(defn uh-oh-go-try
[]
(go-try
(throw (Exception. "uh-oh"))))
(<?? (a/into [] (a/merge [(uh-oh-go-try) (uh-oh-go-try)])))
;; will not throwHey @ben.sless, have you written every and some in the context of core-async by any chance? I'd be curious to take a peak at an example

Don't think I have, but those combinators aren't complicated

Basically, some is alts!, every is merge with a little fix that lets you reorder results
Gotcha, thanks Ben! Exciting in a way -- feels like research

But you're stuck in a monad

You need monadic combinators
Ben Sless 2023-03-22T18:41:05.107789Z
every, some and bind, I think are sufficient

you have the same issue if you work with anomalies
