Re: Do (should?) these core.async utilities exist?
Hi Paul, I have implemented at least the doseq equivalent in a library of my own called state-node: https://github.com/lgrapenthin/state-node. It implements gochan and gochan-and. gochan lets you bind a binding-form to a channel but also lets you recur (if you bind things aside from the channel). It terminates the loop when the channel is closed. With gochan-and you can specify one form that will be evaluated after the channel is closed (e. g. close a target channel). E. g.: (gochan-and (close! out-chan) [taken-val in-chan] (println "Value read from in-chan:" taken-val) (>! out-chan taken-val)) Please feel free to copy the macro directly from the library if you have any use for it :) Maybe also have a look at reducep-hidden (adapted from hidden automatons from ELM) which kinda lets you do the same if you aren't going for side-effects or custom looping conditions. One problem with the lazy-sequence thing would be that such sequences would only work in go-blocks if I my thinking is right this morning. Best regards, Leon.

I think the whole idea is event-driven and async.

Re: Do (should?) these core.async utilities exist?
Hi Paul, Two different reasons: The channel-to-sequence conversion seems like a questionable idea, making seqs that block. The doseq over a channel is easily enough implemented, and was not considered important enough to be on the core API.

Do (should?) these core.async utilities exist?
I've been playing with core.async, and have come across a couple of things that it seemed would probably be common use cases, but can't find anything in the library that addresses them. I'd be grateful for pointers if any of these do exist and I'm just missing them, or suggestions for reasons why I don't really want them and should be tackling the problem in a different way: A way to convert a channel to a lazy sequence (i.e. build the sequence by repeatedly reading from a channel until it's closed). It seems odd that core.async provides a means to turn a lazy sequence into a channel (to-chan) but not the inverse? An equivalent of doseq for a channel, which repeatedly reads from the channel and calls its body with the result of doing so, terminating when the channel is closed. Of course, both of these are easy enough to write, but I'm wondering whether the fact that they aren't provided as standard is telling me something? -- paul.butcher->msgCount++ Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Donington Park...
