Have you considered modelling this as a functional problem first?
So perhaps start out with an immutable data structure to model your cells:
(def cells
{:x [:const 1]
:y [:const 2]
:z [:derive [:x :y] (fn [x y] (+ x y))]}
Then you could use a function to calculate the value:
(calculate cells)
=> {:x 1, :y 2, :z 3}
If you want cells to act more like refs, then you can keep a global
database:
(def cells-data (atom {})
Then use an watch on the atom to keep a cache of the calculation whenever
the cells change.
When you create a cell, it adds to the global database. When you deref a
cell, it just refers to the cached calculation.
If you need more performance than an atom, you could use something like the
megaref <https://github.com/cgrand/megaref> library.
