After more than a year of exploration of different approaches to get error handling right in the Erlang sense with core.async, I am finally confident enough to release it as superv.async. I have tested it a lot with replikativ in a distributed system, but I wouldn't consider it production ready yet.
I have written a blog post about the experiences and different approaches here: https://whilo.github.io/org/2016/03/10/error-handling1.html >From the README: Let it crash. The Erlang approach to build reliable systems. Errors happen, and proper error handling cannot be bolted on top of subsystems. This library draws on the Erlang philosophy of error handling to help building robust distributed systems that deal with errors by default. This is a Clojure(Script) library that extends core.async with error handling and includes a number of convenience functions and macros. This library is a fork of full.async. The original attempt to merge this work with it failed due to the limitations of a dynamic binding approach. The fork became reasonable, because full.async mostly deals with convenience functions, but it is not as radically focused on proper error handling. Since the error handling cannot happen through a transparent dynamic binding, some convenience is lost in superv.async as you need to carry around the supervisor lexically. If binding support comes to ClojureScript for asynchronous contexts the projects might merge again. The binding approach also has a performance penalty though. Since the boundary of both error handling libraries is the exception mechanism and core.async channels, they still compose, but supervision will not compose with full.async contexts. https://github.com/replikativ/superv.async I hope you find it useful and feedback is very much appreciated.
