Hello, I want to think loudly today, may be you have suggestions, or the problemm has been solved already.
I want to do some finite but long two-sided communication, that takes some time - so like some hundred of strings passing in both directions. Often alternating, but not always, and not nessesarily so. In some but not all cases I have a question - response relation (my side asks the questions, so to say), and there is an easy way to identify a string as answer to a question, but not everything that comes back must be a response. (My current task is to talk to a program, linewise. But maybe the problem can and should be solved more generally.) How can I model this in clojure? My current approach, (pen on paper, still no code): A question: sends its string, and creates a promise, and puts it in a map with the question-identifyer as key. The map must be a reference, because it is changed. Then there should be a thread, waiting for responses. If a message arrives, it looks for the identifyer in our map, gets the corresponding promise from our map, and provides it with the answer. The client can wait for the answer it expects. How? What to do with non expected messages? I still dont know. Any tips or constructive criticism welcome. Thank you for reading.
