About

Futurama is a Clojure library for more deeply integrating async abstractions in the Clojure and JVM ecosystem with Clojure core.async.

It adds support for CompletableFuture and IDeferred to be used in the same fashion as Clojure core.async channels.

Usage

Here's a simple example.

(ns user
  (:require [futurama.core :refer [async async-for !<!! !<!]])
  (:import [java.util.concurrent CompletableFuture]))

(defn future-thing
  [what]
  (CompletableFuture/completedFuture (format "%s: done" what)))

(async
  (println (!<! (future-thing "laundry"))))
;;; => prints out: "laundry: done"

(!<!!
  (async-for
    [a (range 4)
     b (range 4)
     :let [c (+ a b)]
     :when (and (odd? a) (odd? b))]
    (!<! (timeout 50)) ;;; can use !<! inside `async-for` comprehension so the items are evaluated sequentially
    [a b c (+ a b c)]))
;;; => returns `[[1 1 2 4] [1 3 4 8] [3 1 4 8] [3 3 6 12]]` and takes slightly over 200ms total time.

(!<!!
  (async-for
    [a (range 4)
     b (range 4)
     :let [c (+ a b)]
     :when (and (odd? a) (odd? b))]
    (async
      (!<! (timeout 50)) ;;; here we use !<! inside an async block so we iterate faster through the items
      [a b c (+ a b c)])))
;;; => returns `[[1 1 2 4] [1 3 4 8] [3 1 4 8] [3 3 6 12]]` evaluated fully async and takes slightly over 50ms total time.

See the existing tests for more examples.
