Cool stuff! A couple of days ago I listened to Rich Hickey talk more about core.async on the most recent ThinkRelevance podcast:

http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2013/07/10/rich-hickey-and-co...

I've written a few client side projects in ClojureScript, and I haven't been totally happy with the way I end up doing event handling. I'm excited to give this a try.

By the way, I love that this is the sort of thing you can do with just a _library_ in Clojure.

Brilliant!!. Can someone point me to an open source project which uses core.async so I can see it in action.
This is an example of Peter Norvig's spellchecker written with core.async by Stuart Sierra (@stuartsierra): https://gist.github.com/stuartsierra/5954022

It's pretty brand new, so I don't think there are any "real" projects using it yet. But you can check out this example repo from David Nolen (the blog posts author) for some more examples.
