I've used them to convert a callback-based (continuation-passing
style, if you will) API into a blocking one. The lib I was using
provides something you can call like:
(rpc-call destination method-args done)
Where 'done' is a function that gets called with the results of
the remote procedure call. But I want to write a function that
does rpc but *returns* the result, so...
(let [p (promise)]
(rpc-call destination method-args #(deliver p %))
@p)
This will work just fine whether rpc-call calls 'done'
synchronously, or if it returns right away and 'done' is called
by some other thread later.
