I don't have enough knowledge to answer the deadlock question. But I can offer you my opinion about your question on race conditions.
In your example, the result WILL depend on which transaction is run first. However I think practically this isn't a problem, because of the following: As a developer, when you split your task into multiple parallel operations (ie. threads), you're already acknowledging that the order in which they run shouldn't matter. If order does matter, you probably wouldn't have written it using multiple threads. That's my understanding anyway. Which is why haven't run into any problems with race conditions (as of yet). -Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
