Hi all,

I'm new to Clojure and playing with small programs. Today I wrote a
snippet to figure out how future works:

(defn testf []
  (let [f (future #(do
                     (Thread/sleep 5000)
                     %)
                  5)
        g 7]
    (+ g @f)))

(println (testf))

I'm expecting the program to sleep 5 seconds and then print 12 and
immediately terminate. However, the program seems to print out 12
immediately, and it takes a long time (more like 50 seconds instead of
5) to terminate. Am I missing something?

Thanks.
