Erlang supports one concurrency model, Actors. Clojure supports several -- Agents, which are similar to Actors; Refs, which have ACI (not D) transactional semantics; and Atoms, which have atomic updates. Erlang is designed for distributed operation across many machines; Clojure is designed for a single machine with many cores. Erlang is designed to hot-swap entire modules in a running production system; Clojure is not. Erlang has its own light-weight thread model; Clojure threads are JVM threads, which are usually operating system threads. You can't really say that one approach is more efficient than another without reference to a specific problem. -SS --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
