For anyone else stumbling across this thread, I found a lot more information about dynamic binding with respect to asynchronous code in the Clojure Confluence wiki:
http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/State%2C+Concurrency%2C+and+Parallelism In particular, the "Asynchronous Events", "Blocking vs Nonblocking Reads", and "Improve Bindings" sub-pages discuss my misconception regarding the behavior bindings within callbacks, or otherwise lazy code. The topics haven't been updated in a while, but I suspect that these issues are going to become higher priority as ClojureScript gains adoption. The async and non-blocking nature of JavaScript introduces some serious complexities which aren't as relevant on the JVM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
