I was thinking about the capability of changing production systems on the fly. E.g. by having an accessible repl in a running production system.
If you have a bug in a function, you can fix it by re-def'ing it - that is great. However, suppose you want to do a system upgrade where you want to change several things. Now you could just re-def each var one at a time, but this might produce an inconsistent program in the interval where you have re-def'ed some but not all vars. This first thing you would want is sort-of a atomic update of all vars, similarly to what is possible with refs. Is this possible somehow? If not are there any techniques or best practices for these "system upgrades"? /Karl --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
