STM in Clojure and Actors
Learn how to use Software Transactional Memory in Clojure to separate state from identity and ensure safe concurrent updates. Understand actor-based concurrency with the Scala Akka framework to simplify thread-safe message handling in Java. This lesson helps you apply modern concurrency techniques to develop more reliable and maintainable Java programs.

STM in Clojure
STM results in a separation of State and Identity. For example, the stock price at a given time is
immutable. We must use a Transaction to modify anything.
We can include the Clojure jars and use them within Java. For example, in the following code, referenceToAmount can only be ...
