I am currently reading the Programming Clojure book and have come across an unexpected result for an example in section titled "Managing Per-thread state with Vars".
Code snippet is as follows (with expected result): user> (def foo 10) #'user/foo user=> (.start (Thread. (fn [] (println foo)))) nil | 10 I tried the above using the clojure trunk version and my output is that println line didn't print anything: user> (.start (Thread. (fn [] (println foo)))) nil However, if I try the version of clojure that accompanies the book examples then the "println foo" in the new thread prints the expected value of 10. user=> (.start (Thread. (fn [] (println foo)))) nil | 10 Does this make any sense? If so, why the difference? Regards, -Alen PS. I'm new to clojure and I am absolutely loving it so far. (Especially Clojure's very neat Concurrency API.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
