A ClojureScript usable version of pipe that will return a seq and a function to add elements to the end of the pipe.
I found it here: http://clj-me.cgrand.net/2009/11/18/are-pipe-dreams-made-of-promises/ and just wanted to have a copy I could find

(defn pipe | |
"Returns a pair: a seq (the read end) and a function (the write end). | |
The function can takes either no arguments to close the pipe | |
or one argument which is appended to the seq. Read is blocking." | |
[] | |
(let [promises (atom (repeatedly promise)) | |
p (second @promises)] | |
[(lazy-seq @p) | |
(fn | |
([] ;close the pipe | |
(let [[a] (swap! promises #(vector (second %)))] | |
(if a | |
(deliver a nil) | |
(throw (Exception. "Pipe already closed"))))) | |
([x] ;enqueue x | |
(let [[a b] (swap! promises next)] | |
(if (and a b) | |
(do | |
(deliver a (cons x (lazy-seq @b))) | |
x) | |
(throw (Exception. "Pipe already closed"))))))])) | |
;;Beware of not printing the seq while the pipe is still open! | |
(let [[q f] (pipe)] | |
(future (doseq [x q] (println x)) (println "that's all folks!")) | |
(doseq [x (range 10)] | |
(f x)) | |
(f)) ;close the pipe |
