This looks like it could become really useful in the future (no pun intended), thanks for sharing! Instead of enforcing its own thread count limit, however, it might be worthwhile to interface with the Agent thread pool. Otherwise, in the worst case a machine with N cores could try to run N+2 agent threads and N+2 future-submit threads at once. That said, I'm not sure about the consequences of the Agent thread pool being saturated by copious use of future-submit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
