Maybe I'm confused, but can't you just do a regular java thread for
this?
(defn periodicly [fun time]
"starts a thread that calls function every time ms"
(let [thread (new Thread (fn [] (loop [] (fun) (Thread/sleep time)
(recur))))]
(.start thread)
thread))
(periodicly #(println "foo foo foo") 3000)
I'm not really sure about the error handling thing, but I guess you
could wrap the function in a try-catch where it reinitialized itself.
(although I guess that could get dangerous if you start throwing a lot
of errors).
