Welcome

Pulsar is a Clojure library that provides high-performance lightweight threads and Erlang-like actors. It is a Clojure API for the Quasar Java library, with the addition of pattern matching and an Erlang-like syntax.

A good introduction to Pulsar (and Quasar) can be found in the blog post Erlang (and Go) in Clojure (and Java), Lightweight Threads, Channels and Actors for the JVM.
