Kinda tangential, but mentioning threads brought it up. I have core.async on the brain, so I was just wondering if you've looked at it or plan on using it for anything. David Nolen had a cool example using it for event handling.

There are places where it'd be useful, no doubt about that. Mainly it will be really useful in the cases where you want to ask a client something "synchronously". For example it'll make doing things like asking a language client where function boundaries are much nicer than the way I was going to have to do it before (waiting for events to be triggered async-style).
