Glad to roll out the first release of the slacker framework. Slacker is a clojure RPC framework on top of a TCP binary protocol. It provides a set of non-invasive APIs for both server and client. The remote invocation is completely transparent to user.

In addition to APIs introduced in last post, asynchronous approach is supported in client API :

If you add option `:async` to defremote, then the function facade will return a promise. You have to deref it by yourself. Also you can use the `:callback` option in defremote to specify a callback function.

This gives you much more flexibility of using remote function. But be careful it will break consistency between local and remote mode.

To use slacker, add it to your project.clj

You can find examples on the github page.
