It will be inconvenient to use transducer functions without the transducer support added in 1.7.0, but there's nothing magical about transducers that requires Clojure 1.7.
Core.async 0.1.346.0-17112a-alpha does not depend on clojure 1.7 (it only depends on Clojure 1.6) and you don't need anything special to create a transducing function. We use the transducer features of core.async with Clojure 1.6 in production. All you need to do is provide the core async channel with a function that has the transducer structure: a function accepting a transforming-function (supplied by core.async) and returning a function with three arities for initialization, finalization, and the reduction step. (fn [xf] (fn ([] (xf)) ([r] (xf r)) ([r v] (xf r v))) We use an as-transducer function as a convenience to make these: https://gist.github.com/favila/ecdd031e22426b93a78f On Monday, December 29, 2014 10:38:05 AM UTC-6, Udayakumar Rayala wrote: > > Hi, > > We are currently using clojure 1.6.0 and using async channels version > "0.1.346.0-17112a-alpha". > I see that the (chan) function accepts a transducers but transducers are > not available in Clojure 1.6.0. > > Is there any option other than upgrading to Clojure 1.7.0-alpha4?
