So far, this is the only way I've figured out that works: (defn try-fib [n] (let [ch (timeout 1000) th (Thread. #(>!! ch (fib n))) _ (.start th) answer (<!! ch)] (if answer answer (do (.stop th) nil))))
But there are a couple bazillion sources that say you should never, ever stop a thread. Is it perfectly safe in a situation like this where the thread is running a pure function with no mutable state? Is there a better approach that is more integrated with core.async and more safe? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
