Thanks everyone. I've read all the replies, and I might understand something. (Though it seems that discussion goes to beyond my current understanding in the middle of this discussion threads) To explore further, I become another owner of 'Programming Clojure' :-)
For my second question, I'll keep thinking and repost question. I'm really concern about concurrency of Clojure, since the concurrency in my world means _the C10K problem_, that is supporting simultaneous 10000 connections or over for networking applications. (http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html) In YAWS, Erlang have shown one solution, so I'm curios that Clojure could be another viable alternative, and that how well-suited Clojure is for that kind of concurrency. My expectation is these: 1) For C10K problem (or C100K), application must not use native threads. Big stack size means low concurrency 2) For application developer, thread model is easy to develop and follow. 3) Therefore, underlying system should support concurrency facility like micro-thread, lightweight process (in Erlang) , agent (in Clojure), or whatever. In this case, underlying facility should have high-performance. 4) At the same time, there must be ways for connecting conceptual gap between 2) and 3). In other words, the way for suspending current execution of function, saving current execution snapshot (normally native thread stack, but may be different), and switching to other functions are needed when the request for I/O should be blocked. It's important that the size of current execution snapshot should be small, since it determine the degree of concurrency. After I invest some time to learn Clojure, I'll repost.
