Clojurians Log v2

Thank you for sharing your expectations. It may have accidentally worked in the past but it was never supposed to work. Continuous flows can be seen as a succession of states, but they are not references and therefore they are not derefable. The deref operation you're referring to is a low-level operation that is part of the flow protocol and not meant to be exposed in userland. Unlike the deref operation implemented on clojure reference types, it is NOT a read-only operation, it is an effectful operation that triggers a dataflow transfer across arbitrarily many nodes in the graph and must be adequately timed. There is currently no way to simply get the current state of a signal, there are good reasons for that which are probably worth an essay. If you're looking for a way to inspect the state of a signal at the repl, you can just block on the first value of the flow (but keep in mind it may trigger effects and/or realize lazy computations) :

(defn await-first [flow]
  (m/? (m/reduce (comp reduced {}) nil flow)))

If you're looking for an equivalent of deref for reagent-like reactive references (i.e. to maintain the rest of the computation when the state changes), use m/?< in a m/cp block - cf this thread https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/CL85MBPEF/p1744060873602489
