There was another discussion on this list regarding async IO and web servers. It may be rather informative to you: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure/rKqT13Ofy4k/H9xvkZA9Yy4J
To my knowledge, Pedestal is the only web library that let's you go async all the way down to the wire (potentially the latest Aleph also allows for this). The benefit provided is that Pedestal manages the NIO integration directly with the container for you - optimized to the specific container. You may thumb through the implementation for some ideas. You also have to be very mindful about back-pressure when using core.async in certain combinations. Zach Tellman has covered the major points here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure/TVMQJwaij1U/dQxyBxxbIjQJ Cheers, Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
