Hello all, I've come across the following macro, which basically tries to execute body and times out after ms milliseconds. It works fine :)
(defmacro time-limited [ms & body] `(let [f# (future ~@body)] (. get f# ~ms java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit/MILLISECONDS))) If I do a (macroexpand '(time-limited 100 (println "Hello World"))) it expands to: (let* [f__1760__auto__ (clojure.core/future (println "Hello"))] (.get f__1760__auto__ 100 java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit/MILLISECONDS)) My questions are: 1) Where does the let* come from?!? 2) Why does f need to be a auto generated variable? Wouldn't (let* [f (clojure.core/future (println "Hello"))] (.get f 100 java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit/MILLISECONDS)) suffice? 3) What's .get ??
