In a nutshell, those are the building blocks for the "dataflow programming paradigm".
It's an easy way to make a computation done in thread A (and using a pre-declared promise) block until thread B has delivered the promise (given it its value). The book CTM covers dataflow programming : http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/book.html Now, to be honest, i still haven't read the related parts of the book, and I'm unable to give more concrete examples yet :-) 2010/1/21 Baishampayan Ghose <b.gh...@ocricket.com>: > Hello, > > I am trying to understand the use-cases of the new promise/deliver > feature in Clojure.
