Comment on Clojure values by Nick Bauman

I’m a huge fan of Clojure but this hammock debugging and “thinking over tests” is really strange. You will take my TDD from my cold, dead hands.

I’m very pleased to see a desire *expressed* for clarity over terseness–now I’d like to see it put into action. I’m a perennial Clojure beginner (2+ years of coding, much study of all the Clojure books, and still mystified on a regular basis by the language’s behavior), and I find the Clojure community to be very intent on proving how smart it is. Single-letter variables…really! And try to imagine a newcomer trying to decode some of the Clojure doc strings. I look forward to seeing people writing code (especially code *meant* for public consumption) that’s easier to understand than what I’ve seen so far. And if you want help on how to do that, I’ll be glad to help. Thanks for listening.

Comment on Java 7 TransferQueue by yongboy

Hi, Alex:
Thanks for your response.
I understood wrong with the transfer method, with my test, your are right.
With some item already in the queue, when call the transfer method, the producer thread will wait util the other items have been consumed.

@yongboy: I think it is correct as written. If you are putting a new item in the queue, then it cannot be consumed until all of the other items already in the queue have been consumed (as that’s the FIFO guarantee).
