Unorthodox control flow, for Clojurists with masochistic sensibilities. Available via clojars.

See dom-top.core for comprehensive documentation with examples.

• assert+ works like assert, but returns truthy values being tested, and throws other types of exceptions (including maps, via ex-info!)
• bounded-future is just like future, but for CPU-bound tasks.
• bounded-pmap, by contrast, puts a global limit on parallelism for CPU-bound tasks.
• disorderly is a do block that evaluates statements in a new, random order every time, instead of sequentially.
• fcatch lifts functions that throw exceptions into functions that return exceptions.
• letr provides let bindings with early return; particular useful for aborting early on failure cases.
• loopr expresses reductions with multiple accumulators over multiple dimensions. It combines the nested iteration of for, the multiple accumulators/dimensions of loop, and the concise iteration/accumulation structure of reduce. Also, it's fast.
• reducer builds a reducing function for multiple accumulators, carrying state in a dynamically-compiled, primitive-aware, mutable accumulator datatype. For simple reductions it's about twice as fast as an idiomatic vector accumulator.
• real-pmap provides a fully parallel version of map, which spawns one thread per element, instead of running on a limited threadpool.
• with-retry provides recur that works through try/catch blocks; particularly useful for retrying network operations.

Look, this is a judgement-free zone, OK? We all have our reasons.

Justin Conklin offered advice on ASM and wrote the core of dom-top's generator of mutable accumulators.
