pulsar
A Clojure library providing Erlang-style concurrency with fibers, channels, and actors built on Quasar.
What is pulsar?
Pulsar is a Clojure library that implements Erlang-style concurrency primitives, including fibers, channels, and actors, on the JVM. It solves the challenge of building highly concurrent and scalable applications in Clojure by providing lightweight, message-passing-based alternatives to traditional threading models.
Clojure developers building concurrent, distributed, or high-throughput systems, especially those familiar with Erlang or Go's concurrency patterns.
Developers choose Pulsar for its Erlang-inspired API, efficient fiber-based concurrency via Quasar, and seamless integration with Clojure, offering a robust alternative to shared-state concurrency with better scalability and fault tolerance.
