Hello Anniepoo, thank you for the answer. I t made me think in new directions, splendid!
Its streams, I completely agree. What I still try is mapping this to the ubiquitous Clojure-sequences. And what I came up with is seeing the stream as blocking lazy sequence of strings (the lines), that can then be transformed into blocking lazy sequence of messages (that may be multiline, I didn't mentioned that before). And now I'm not sure whether the blocking permits to be a sequence. As far as I understand, blocking (in the Clojure world) should be restricted to references. And if head and tail of a "seq" are references, they dont fit the interface anymore, or do they. Still thinking ;-) Kind regards, alux On 14 Apr., 22:41, Anniepoo <annie6...@yahoo.com> wrote: > what you want is just a stream in each direction. > > Bob: So, how do you feel about the Smith contract? > Fred: It's not a good deal for us > > Fred: Do you think we'll have 4 engineers working on it? > Bob: Turn left here > Bob: No, more like 5 > > Fred: at the light? > Bob: Yes > > I'd make a wrapper around a socket connection.
