The documentation for >!! reads:
-------------------------
clojure.core.async/>!!
([port val])
puts a val into port. nil values are not allowed. Will block if no
buffer space is available. Returns true unless port is already closed.
I have a case where I believe that the channel has no buffer, I park a
"pseudothread" in a go block reading off that channel via <!, and then
(lexically, not temporally), put to the unbuffered channel via >!!:
(let [c (chan) ;; NO BUFFER!
d (go (<! c)) ;; park a pseudothread to read c
e (>!! c 42)] ;; blocking write to c, will unpark c's pseudothread
(println {:c-coughs-up '(this will hang (<!! c)),
:d-coughs-up (<!! d),
:what's-e e})
(close! c) (close! d))
{:c-coughs-up (this will hang (<!! c)), :d-coughs-up 42, :what's-e true}
This case leads me to wonder whether the documentation might read
>!! will block if there is no buffer space available *and* if there is no
*rendezvous *available, that is, no pseudothread parked waiting for <!.
but it's more likely that I completely misunderstand core.async because I
just made up the notion of a pseudothread in my struggle to understand!
