Hi John,

  Your solution is perfectly valid and optimal for the problem I
described above.


  Unfortunately, I forgot to mention an additional constraint: sometimes I do:

(let [ foo (:some-selector @data-atom) ]
  (swap! data-atom update-in [:other-selector] ... ))

which the -> doesn't quite work on, but my ugly hack above does resolve.


  The problem being -- I want to update one part of the atom, but it
depends on another part of the atom.

  I ended up with the following hack:

(defn tswap! [atm func]
  (swap! atm
         (fn [old]
           (let [natm (atom old)]
             (func natm)
             @natm))))
