The print-method for IDerefs by default dereferences anything to be printed. Right now it has a special type check for futures but not for promises. It makes promises nearly impossible to debug or to use from the REPL. The current implementation of promises uses reify rather than deftype, so there is currently no type or tag by which to discriminate. As a solution, I factored the reify out into a deftype:
http://gist.github.com/339834 Unfortunately, the Promise deftype is no longer intercepted by the print-method for IDerefs. I guess it has to do with the deftype hierarchy vs Java hierarchy. Maybe someone more familiar with deftype can figure this one out. For now, what I have is good enough to get on with my immediate coding. -Per -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
