Any fun hackathons in europe?

yonatanel some, not sure if anything specific to Clojure

we had one recently here in Hungary with telco data (that we won 😛 )

istvan What was the goal?

make some sense of telco data including cellular info, call history and CRM

gey guys, does anybody have a BlockingQueue in Java that mimics the behaviour a blocking consumer in a thread with a go-loop + recur?

i would like to block the sender until the receiver takes the item from a queue and processes it (i guess with while (true) {} instead of go-loop)

I don't understand...blocking queue does that, doesn't it? I if you call put it blocks until there is room in the queue

@istvan ^^

right, and this is the easy part

i am more interested the poll/peek/consumer part

(thread
  (go-loop []
    (let [  message (blocking-consumer work-chan)
      (process message)
      (recur))))

I guess i will while (value = queue.take()) { doSomething(value); }

I'm not sure why you nested a go-loop inside a thread use one or the other, there's no reason to use both.

and if blocking-consumer is blocking, you shouldn't do that in a go-loop. So I'm really confused as to what you're trying to accomplish given what you're asking.

maybe I just need more information

you right

there used to be a bug with core.async but i already forgot what it was

i can just use a go-loop + recur now

i guess i am looking for a go-loop in Java 🙂

um...using a go-loop inside a thread has never been a good idea, nor a suggested approach

go-loop creates a callback that is run in another thread. thread creates a thread that runs the body. So it's redundant.
