I have the following scenario: - a server that is listening on a socket for incoming connections. - when the server accepts a connection it uses send-off to run a handler function to handle the connection - the handler function loops using recur to handle packets - the handler function uses send-off for some packets so it can render a gui
I know now that this won't work because when code running in an agent uses send or send-off, those sends are not dispatched until the agent changes state (ie, when the function returns). Because I am looping in my handler, none of its send-offs work. Would it be a good rule of thumb to say "agents should not use recur, but instead should use send-off to re-schedule themselves"? Is this a performance impact? (ie, recur vs send-off) Why are sends held until the agent state changes? Is it a technical reason, or a conceptual one?
