Hi,
I would like to announce the initial release of Atomos, a library that provides
atomic primitives a la java.util.concurrent.atomic as well as a Python
implementation of Clojure’s atoms.
Atomos targets applications which benefit from threads and wish to eliminate
race conditions between them by synchronizing shared state mutation.
Traditionally locks are one solution to this problem. However Atomos provides
high-level abstractions over locks that allow the developer to think in terms
of these abstractions instead of locks. In other words, Atomos does locking for
you behind the scenes provided you participate in its API.
Check out the project on Github for more info and a detailed description of
usage: https://github.com/maxcountryman/atomos
Features:
* Atomic wrappers around int, long, float, and boolean
* Generalized atomic wrapper around arbitrary object types
* Compare-and-set
* Atomicity without having to think in terms of locks
* Atoms! (http://clojure.org/atoms <http://clojure.org/atoms>)
Thanks,
Max
