However, if there is only one Clojure image used for references and the like, what happens if someone calls an infinite loop, or infinite recursion, in a file. Does the Clojure server hang/blow up? How do you detect it/protect from it? For example, I was using the SmallSnake code for testing, and when that file is loaded, it pops up a window and runs a process forever. I don't want that to happen, just because someone included that file in their IntelliJ project. This must be a problem common to all Swank based IDEs. What is the "Clojure way" here? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
