This small experiment maintains a long-lived bash process used to execute system commands. Somehow, it is significantly faster than clojure.java.shell/sh.
Add the following dependency to your project.clj file:
[bashpipe "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]
(bashpipe.core/sh "ls" "-la")Having a single bash process means that commands are executed sequentially and that if one command hangs, it will block all other commands.
A named pipe is created in the mechanism of communication with the bash process. That named pipe is never removed.
