Hi, the average channel has no queue. Processes freeze until the peer process arrives. So count doesn't make sense for the typical channel. If you want to implement a queue, you could create a process which accepts values on end and distributes to the other. Then you can keep also track of any stats you like independent of the underlying channel implementation.
(defn queue-process [input output stats] (async/go ; Wait for the first input. (loop [v (async/<! input) q clojure.lang.PersistentQueue/EMPTY] (let [[val-to-q ch] (async/alts! [input [output v]])] (swap! stats update-stats q) (cond ; Read a value from input. val-to-q (recur v (conj q val-to-q)) ; Input channel is closed. => Empty queue. (identical? ch input) (do (doseq [v (cons v q)] (async/>! output v)) (async/close! output)) ; Write happened, and there is more in the queue. (pos? (count q)) (recur (peek q) (pop q)) ; Write happened, and queue is empty. Start over. :else (recur (async/<! input) q)))))) With something like that, you can implement any queueing strategy (bounded, priority, etc.) you like with any stats you want to collect without polluting the general channel interface. Disclaimer: I haven't used core.async much, yet. So there might be glitches in the above, but you should get the idea. Also, it might be a bad idea altogether.
