Hi Ali, For usage please look at the commit which introduced that code (or search current Dirac code base): https://github.com/binaryage/dirac/commit/cce56470975a287c0164e6f79cd525d6ed27a543 https://github.com/binaryage/dirac/search?q=chunkify&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93
Further explanation: My theory is that the go-macro can handle only limited complexity under ClojureScript. When you hit that threshold the ClojureScript compiler ends up entering infinite recursion. In my code the threshold was 18 async operations (<!) inside a single go block. A workaround was to break complex go block at hand into multiple smaller go blocks nested in a newly introduced parent go block. That is what chunkify macro does - it rewrites existing code to series of nested go blocks. I think this bug is triggered by a specific way how go-macro rewrites the form. At some point it is probably emitting an apply call which triggers CLJS-365. This bug has been unresolved because almost nobody is writing go blocks so complex to hit this problem. But I might be absolutely wrong with this theory. I didn't really dive deep and investigate the real cause. good luck, Antonin On Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at 5:33:00 AM UTC+1, outr...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi Antonin, > > Thank you for the explanation and links.
