I don't have much experience with core.async, and I recently tried using 
channels with transducers.  Strangely, I found that you need a buffer with 
a size
of at least one in order for the transducer to be applied.

I have a few toy functions:

(defn push-nums
  "Push a few numbers on a channel."
  [n c]
  (go (loop [i 0]
        (when (< i n)
          (>! c i)
          (recur (inc i))))
      (>! c :end)))

(defn print-nums
  "Take the numbers from the channel and print them."
  [c]
  (go
    (loop []
        (let [n (<! c)]
          (when (not= :end n)
            (println "A num: " n)
            (recur))))
    (println "Finished with nums!!")))


I used them in two different scenarios:


(let [c (chan 0 (map inc))] (push-nums 5 c) (print-nums c))
;=> A num:  0
;=> A num:  1
;=> A num:  2
;=> A num:  3
;=> A num:  4
;=> Finished with nums!!

(let [c (chan 1 (map inc))] (push-nums 5 c) (print-nums c))
;=> A num:  1
;=> A num:  2
;=> A num:  3
;=> A num:  4
;=> A num:  5


 The transducer only gets applied when the argument 1 is passed in.  I 
assume this is by design, but I don't like the fact that
using transducers effectively limits certain options with channels.

Does anyone know if there's a type of buffer that can be used to get around 
this?
