Core.Async: Deep Dive

An exploration of Clojure’s asynchronous programming engine internals, examining what transpires beneath the public API when developers initialize asynchronous processes and transmit messages
through channels.

Topics covered:
- Internal architecture of channels, queues, timers, and event loops
- Compilation and scheduling of virtual threads
- Macro system implementation for core.async semantics and code transformation into state machines

The presentation serves language designers exploring async support, Clojure practitioners using or evaluating core.async, and systems programmers curious about CSP-style concurrency patterns.

Speaker: Andrey Listopadov, Clojure Engineer at Health Samurai. A professional Clojure developer with 5+ years of experience, Listopadov has ported core.async to Fennel, providing deep familiarity with the
library’s underlying mechanisms.
