Hello group,
First I'd like to thank Rich for such a great new tool. The assertion
in Programming Clojure that it "feels like a general-purpose language
beamed back from the near future" really sums things up very nicely.
Homoiconicity + FP + STM + JVM = epic win.
Anyway, thought I'd say hi, and solicit opinions on my first "non-
trivial" (that's a relative term ;)) Clojure program, a toy server
which opens a listening socket and prints a message to each connecting
client:
;;;
(ns seq-server
#^{:author "Ross Thomas <[email protected]>"}
(:import (java.net ServerSocket)))
(def listen-port 8555)
(def num-agents 32)
(def message "Hello, world!\r\n")
(def server-sock (ServerSocket. listen-port))
(def clients (repeatedly #(.accept server-sock)))
(def agent-pool (take num-agents (repeatedly #(agent nil))))
(def agents (cycle agent-pool))
(def work-seq (map vector clients agents))
(declare handle-client)
(defn run []
(doseq [[c a] work-seq]
(send-off a handle-client c)))
(defn handle-client [_ client]
(.. client getOutputStream (write (.getBytes message)))
(doto client
.shutdownInput
.shutdownOutput
.close))
(run)
;;;
I can't decide if doing it that way is a bit too weird or not, but it
was fun to write. Anyway, interested to hear comments/criticisms, how
I could make it more idiomatic, etc. :)
-Ross
