You might find it handy to use box-cas! via a "swap" style wrapper,
such as box-swap! from rackjure/utils:
(define (box-swap! box f . args)
(let loop ()
(let* ([old (unbox box)]
[new (apply f old args)])
(if (box-cas! box old new)
new
If you use thread cells you can avoid global state and synchronization
entirely to solve this problem. Just put a list in the thread cell and add
elements for children threads and increment the head element when new
threads are created.

Something like:

#lang racket
(define handle-counter (box 1))
(define (new-handle)
(define old (unbox handle-counter))
(define new (add1 old))
(unless (box-cas!
This question is also about style. Take an admittedly ugly
counter like this
;; increasing counter for handles
(define handle-counter 1)
(define (new-handle)
(begin0
handle-counter
(set! handle-counter (add1 handle-counter
Various threads may call (new-handle) concurrently, so I ne
