 Futures are the same as in other languages. (future <some sequence of expressions>) creates a future that returns the last value when dereferenced with @my_future and the app blocks (unlike actors, which need (await …) to block, and that's only until your changes are complete)

+Day 3 exercise says to find a queue that blocks when it is empty. The best I can find is a wrapper on java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque (https://gist.github.com/mjg123/1305115/72434dd5da89e5a83c91facb0b7687d6b7e66836). I've tried creating one but can't get the logic right.
+It *feels* like an atom job, then an agent to do an async push, but then you're just adding an empty check and Thread/sleep to a loop. Or you use actors with (await …) rather than atoms, but await only waits for changes in your thread, which is of minimal use with a blocking queue.
