Up until now, managing a thread pool in Clojure still meant dropping back to Java and doing something like this: http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2013/01/java-thread-pool-example-using-executors-and-threadpoolexecutor.html http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2013/01/java-thread-pool-exampl... Clojure makes Java interop easy, but I hate every moment that I have to use Java, rather than a library that offers me idiomatic Clojure. If I understand Claypoole correctly, it removes the need to drop down to Java. No more ExecutorService. To my mind, this is awesome.
