Here's a recursive example of what I was trying to do with promise/deliver: http://gist.github.com/284957 And with delay/force: http://gist.github.com/284972 I suppose the one thing I like about promise/deliver is that promises can be "watched" making it perhaps more extensible? Anyone can get just attempt to deref the value inside a future to "watch it". With delay/force it's harder to add new functionality without mucking directly with the code. Or is there a better way to handle this that I haven't thought of? Thanks for the insights Richard. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
