One technique for addressing this sort of issue has been described in Haskell-land:
https://www.schoolofhaskell.com/user/snoyberg/general-haskell/exceptions/catching-all-exceptions http://hackage.haskell.org/package/enclosed-exceptions I'm unaware of any comparable clojure library, but the same technique probably works. A simpler technique in this case would be to only catch the kinds of exceptions that you expect the inner block to throw, rather than "catching all exceptions" with (catch Exception e ...). -- Dan Burton On Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 6:35 AM, Ashish Negi <thisismyidash...@gmail.com> wrote: > To stop any thread.. interrupts are send to it. > And threads handle this by throwing exception so that programmer can > decide what to do > depending upon the kind of exception it gets.
