My apologies - I read the code wrong and should explain more of what I see. When the if is true, the ordering of init-function and f is guaranteed so init-function will complete before f. However, on any subsequent calls to example, there are no language guarantees that keep the if from evaluating to false, calling (send @my-ref f), but only after the previous call to (send a init-function). Stated another way, it's technically possible the agent calls won't complete before a subsequent call to example. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
