what you want is just a stream in each direction. Bob: So, how do you feel about the Smith contract? Fred: It's not a good deal for us
Fred: Do you think we'll have 4 engineers working on it? Bob: Turn left here Bob: No, more like 5 Fred: at the light? Bob: Yes I'd make a wrapper around a socket connection. If you want an async call, like Fred's last question "at the light?" then have a different send access that takes two args, (ask-bob "at the light?" (fn [response] ... handle the response....)) as opposed to (tell-bob "blah blah") that doesn't get a response (after all, you presumably need to know what question Bob is answering 'yes' to) ask-bob sends bob an id along with the question, and shoves the function into a map with id as key when bob sends a response the function gets called The recieving end is a good candidate for a multimethod. the dispatch function would somehow parse the message for type and figure out which handler handles it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
