Clojurians Log v2

Do you mean helper functions to work with missionary tasks in the same process or distribute tasks across several processes?

Several processes (clones of the same codebase) that talk over a distributed queue. I want to spin up multiple workers to sync stuff, send email, etc. We have a very gross internal tasks module implementation that seems fraught with deadlocks at the outset, and I want to get rid of it. To-date there isn't really anything like Celery in the Clojure space. It seems to me that Missionary would be well-suited to gracefully handling errors, retrying external APIs with backpressure 🙂

If you already have a message queue set up for distributing your "very gross internal tasks", I guess you could e.g. send messages containing a task builder var's symbol + arguments to build a missionary task and run it

(defn my-task-builder [x y] (m/sp (+ x y)))
(mq/send [`my-task-builder 1 2])
(let [[f$ & args] (mq/recv), f (resolve f$)]
  (run (apply f args)))
