I figure it's named volatile, because it utilizes a volatile field to store the ref. Kind of like a stripped - down var. It also alludes to the consistency guarantees of volatile fields in the java memory model. See also ^:volatile-mutable vs ^:unsynchronized-mutable on deftype fields. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
