You could probably move setting the atom and calling my-wait-loop inside the try.
(defn test-mailer [] (async/thread (try (do (reset! mailer-status (mailer/send-speaker-confirmation-notification 1 " http://localhost")) (my-wait-loop)) (catch Exception e (println (.getMessage e)))) "Success")) I also dont see the need for atoms. You could probably pass the channel as parameter to my-wait-loop. And also you dont need to put async/thread if the send-speaker-confirmation-notification doesnt wait until the message is put (which probably it shouldnt). (defn my-wait-loop [mailer connections] (async/go-loop [status (async/<! mailer)] (if status (do (println "Ready to send " status) (doseq [chan connections] (println "Channel" chan) (send! chan (pr-str "Done" status))) (recur (async/<! mailer))) (println "Go away")))) (defn test-mailer [] (try (do (my-wait-loop (mailer/send-speaker-confirmation-notification 1 " http://localhost") @connections)) (catch Exception e (println (.getMessage e)))) "Success") Thanks, Uday.
