You can achieve same performance with multiple arities of vswap! function
vlaaad 2020-05-10T05:42:39.150500Z
(vswap! (volatile! (prn 1)) identity)
vlaaad 2020-05-10T05:42:57.150600Z
Prints "1" twice

@vlaaad As I see vswap! is implemented as macro just to assign the type hint to volatile and avoid reflection on .reset and .deref invocations
vlaaad 2020-05-10T09:57:09.154500Z
You can doo all that without making vswap! a macro

> Prints "1" twice looks like it is not designed to work with volatiles which you cannot access directly 🙂

well, only @alexmiller can answer if he remembers 🙂 https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C06E3HYPR/p1589057208146700

the discussion in the comments seems to be derailed because of :inline in the patch...

@vlaaad what is the problem you are experiencing?
2020-05-10T15:51:10.164Z
Just use an atom, you get a function for swap and as a bonus it is race free under contention, volatile is not
vlaaad 2020-05-10T16:03:22.164200Z
I know when to choose atoms and when to choose volatiles :)
