The problem was elsewhere but I realized that Clojure has support for futures at the level of the language even though it relies on java.util.concurrent.
So I have this question. I have heard that Clojure's data structures are immutable and it has support for promises, agents, atoms etc. What exactly is meant by this ? Is it that all of these Clojure language featues are based on java.util.concurrent ? I am still learning FP and Clojure but I want to know if I am assuming something totally wrong here. All of these language featues seem to depend on java.util.concurrent. What about STM ? Is that a new idea based on the same Java library ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
