Thanks for the comprehensive answer, that’s super interesting. Presumably these folks don’t need Java libraries (which for my own use cases I needed pretty much from the jump) and are doing either vanilla Clojure stuff or things that they k

For failure maps, I’ve found it useful to have a :tried key, which is the parameter that in some sense “caused” the err, or a map of params if there are multiple. I also usually have an error :type key. I’ve also found it useful to distingu

Not really, you just have to check your return values, and it is trivial to write a macro to make this more convenient (if-success, success->, etc). Checking return values for errs is a common idiom even in languages without this afforda

Yes, core.async is CSP style async (not to be confused with CPS programming style, which this article is about) and there is a learning curve. Particularly as the go macro cannot see across function boundaries. (Some of Rich Hickey's v

Not at all my experience. Do you have any examples? OP called it "clojure.async." I question how much they've really used it.
