Would adding pmap
be going too far? It would require future
.
I made a small interpreter for Clojure which works with GraalVM. It calls directly into Clojure and pmap works over there:
$ bb '(pmap #(-> (csh "curl" "(link: <https://www.clojure.org>) <http://clojure.org|clojure.org>") :out (subs 0 10)) (range 5))'
("<!DOCTYPE " "<!DOCTYPE " "<!DOCTYPE " "<!DOCTYPE " "<!DOCTYPE ")
so maybe, if you want, you can call this tool as a shell command from joker. It spits out EDN by default, so you can parse that back in
^ @hlship
An example use case; our tool gets information from a server, sending about 20 requests one at a time. There's no reason why we couldn't have a separate thread for each request so they could be in parallel.
So I may be looking for some specific use cases, but not something general purpose as in Clojure for JVM.
can go channels be used from joker?
Not that I know of; but go channels could easily be part of an implementation.
