Dear list, I've got two threads that update the same location. One of them takes a lot of time. Given this, my question is if there is a reason to prefer an atom or a ref?
i.e.: 1) with an atom: (def a (atom [])) ;; the slow thread (future (swap! a #(do (Thread/sleep 5000) (conj % 1)))) ;; the fast thread: (future (swap! a #(do (conj % 2)))) 2) with a ref: (def r (ref [])) ;; the slow thread (future (dosync (alter r #(do (Thread/sleep 5000) (conj % 1)))) ;; the fast thread: (future (dosync (alter r conj 2)))) Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
