This is how Amazon (and probably eBay et al) assemble pages. Each of the boxes you see -- recommendations, your browsing history, etc. -- are assembled in parallel. If an agent is taking too long to generate that part of the page, it's simply dropped to keep total page load time down. I'm sure they do it through some horrible chunk of procedural code, of course... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
