Ok, I have a dumb question here. Using Clojure's concurrency semantics, I'm trying to see how to spawn a thread that runs and blocks on input from the standard-in. Vars, atoms, agents and refs all seem to deal with coordinated / uncoordinated access to blocks of data.
I need i) to call a function (in a thread) that runs and blocks on standard input. Then ii) run a thread that spits data to the standard in. I tried create an agent with nil data, then sending an update function to the agent; but no dice. *(let [agt (agent nil)] * * (send agt ** **;; both send and send-off still block execution - (println "foobar") never gets called * * (println "FINAL > " * * (with-out-str (some-function-that-blocks-on-read )))* * nil * * ) * *)* * * *(println "foobar") * I want to avoid using Java threads if at all possible.
