Last week, Rich Hickey announced Clojure core.async in a blog post. As mentioned in the post, the new core.async library has a lot in common with Go. In this post, I’ll compare the fundamental building blocks of concurrency in core.async and Go with code examples. Note: Clojure core.async provides two sets of operations on channels. The blocking operations are for use with native threads and the non-blocking operations are for use with go blocks. In this post, I’ll be focusing on the non-blocking operations used with go blocks but I’ll briefly mention the blocking versions. ...
