"explicit progression-of-time constructs"? (wikipedia)

[Hank]

According to Wikipedia, Clojure provides "explicit progression-of-time constructs":  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clojure

Anyone any clue which constructs are meant by that? The term doesn't even resolve on Google outside the Clojure context.

[Stuart Sierra]

I expect the Wikipedia article is referring to Clojure's mutable reference types -- Ref, Atom, Agent, Var -- which help to manage state that changes over time.

See also http://clojure.org/state and http://clojure.org/concurrent_programming

 The constructs it means are probably reference-types.
