Oooh! that is a really good point! I hones
@Alex:
Noted.
In practice, it's not much of a problem to me, since objects I'm sending
over the channel are of the form:
{:tag :message
:return-chan ...
:data ... actual message }

Two notes:
1)The provided core.async go-loop macro is a small enhancement for the (go
(loop )) case.
2) Be careful using when using falsey tests like when or if - these will
stop on nil but will also stop on false coming through the channel. Might

I really like Mark's while-let.
I've always felt loop ... recur slightly cubersome, but never got around to
writing a custom macro to just get around it.
while-let much elegant. wow.

I found this macro I wrote really useful for exactly this type of thing:

As long as you are happy for your go loop to stop when nil comes through
(i.e. when it gets closed).

No, you can not kill the loop with the go channel that is bound to x.
You need to r
