I think we'd all agree that STM is a very important feature of Clojure. I trust that it works as advertised, but until recently I didn't feel that I understood exactly how it worked. This left me unable to defend it when pressed by developers that aren't using Clojure. I wanted to change that, for me and for the Clojure community. For the past few months I've been working on an article about STM in general and the Clojure implementation in particular. I hope the Clojure community derives some value from it.
Consider this a beta version of the article. I have tried very hard to get all the facts straight and have reviewed it many times. It seems inevitable though that I may have stated some things incorrectly. This is complicated stuff ... which it must be in order to make concurrent programming easier. If you have an interest in this topic, I'd appreciated getting some feedback on the article. In particular, search for "Question:" in the article. I'll make suggested updates quickly to avoid spreading any misinformation. You can find the article at http://ociweb.com/mark/stm/article.html. Thanks! -- R.
