No, the problem is that there is no mechanism to capture and restore dynamic bindings. This is a shortcoming irrespective of asynchronous code. It just so happens that such a mechanism is necessary for writing code which sets a dynamic binding, then schedules asynchronous code which uses that binding. Notice my example from above, here it is again in Clojure: user=> (def ^:dynamic x "root") #'user/x user=> x "root" user=> #'x #'user/x user=> ((binding [x "dynamic"] (fn [] x))) "root" user=> ((binding [x "dynamic"] (bound-fn [] x))) "dynamic" Notice two things about this code: 1) It is completely synchronous and single-threaded. 2) Now works identically in both Clojure and my ClojureScript branch. See (doc bound-fn) You suggested that there is insufficient motivation for my changes in the face of CPS / delimited continuations. My question to you is: How would you implement bound-fn without doing exactly what my code already does? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
