bg clj macro

(bg & args)

Runs the body in a background thread, and creates a var for the eventual result. The var will have the optionally supplied name or else will be named bg<N>. Logs to out when the background task starts and finishes.

When the body finishes, the var will contain either the result, or any exception that is thrown.

E.g.,

(bg foo (slurp file)) ;; => #'foo (bg (slurp file)) ;; => #'bg0

The var also contains some useful metadata:

:form - the code of the bg call :state - one of #{:running :done :error} :future - a future-like object that can be derefenced, will block, and will throw an exception when appropriate :thread - the thread object running the code
