By the way, in a speech at November's Clojure/conj, some guy remarked that queues are good, and the mere fact that he hadn't found it necessary for Clojure to wrap them shouldn't signal that there's something wrong with them. When a queue would help, use a queue.
In your application... well, suppose that as a hedge against being enlisted to spam innocent victims, you wanted to rate-limit the email transmission. You might use the agent send-off in the transaction, not to send email directly, but rather to enqueue a reminder to send email eventually, and meanwhile a single rate-limited loop would work the queue. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
