I don't think it would be quite that easy. The implementation of Refs is shared with LockingTransaction. You saw that agents have watchers that do exactly this? Depending on how complex your use case, you might be able to get away with using agents and 'await' for now. Another option, as long as you don't tell Rich, is that you could abuse the validator function to send to your agent. Anyway, apparently watchers for Refs are planned, so you could just wait for that. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
