8.7 Practical Examples of Concurrency in Clojure

In this section

• 8.7.1 Implementing a Shared Counter with Atoms
  Learn how to implement a thread-safe shared counter in Clojure using atoms, an essential concept in managing concurrency without explicit locks.
• Managing State in a Multithreaded Application
  Learn how to effectively manage application state in a multithreaded environment using Clojure's ref and Software Transactional Memory (STM) to safely coordinate updates across threads.
• 8.7.3 Background Processing with Agents
  Explore how to leverage Clojure's agents for effective background processing, enhancing application responsiveness through practical examples of logging and queue processing.
• 8.7.4 Combining Concurrency Primitives
  Explore how to effectively combine atoms, refs, and agents in Clojure to manage state and asynchronously handle tasks in complex applications.
