In Overtone we have the same situation, where we return a promise
representing a server response and sometimes we want to timeout if the
response never arrives. This is what we use:
(defn await-promise!
([prom] (await-promise prom REPLY-TIMEOUT))
([prom timeout]
(.get (future @prom) time
oooh ... I can definitely find a use for this in my project! Thanks
for pointing it out.

Or you could just modify the source of promise ... i dont know why
promises dont support timeouts
(defprotocol PWait

It's a sandboxing library for Clojure, which among other things means
it needs to try running an operation and give up after N seconds. You
can skip the sandboxing part entirely if you want; it exposes a pretty
general thunk-timeout function.
