Threads

(thread/close thread)

Close a thread, unblocking it and ending communication with it. Note that closing a thread is idempotent and does not cancel the thread's operation. Returns nil.

(thread/current)

Get the current running thread.

(thread/new func &opt capacity)

Start a new thread that will start immediately. If capacity is provided, that is how many messages can be stored in the thread's mailbox before blocking senders. The capacity must be between 1 and 65535 inclusive, and defaults to 10. Returns a handle to the new thread.

(thread/receive &opt timeout)

Get a message sent to this thread. If timeout is provided, an error will be thrown after the timeout has elapsed but no messages are received.

(thread/send thread msg)

Send a message to the thread. This will never block and returns thread immediately. Will throw an error if there is a problem sending the message.
