This rant has hardly anything to do with the linked announcement, except that it starts with (paraphrasing) 'I once tried using REBL in an unsupported way and gave up after some hours'
The criticisms have been adressed or discussed in many other contexts already, which is also why I won't engage in such discussions here.
- blatant303 3y ago> in an unsupported way The majority of Clojure projects use Leiningen. As a consequence, REBL/Morse do not support the majority of Clojure projects.
- lgrapenthin 3y agoI haven't seen leiningen based projects in a long time. Are you sure?
- blatant303 3y agoGo look for recent Clojure projects on github It's roughly half leiningen (counted 5) half deps (counted 5) with the occasional outliers using "npx shadow-cljs" or other unknown build methods (counted 2). https://github.com/search?q=language%3Aclojure&type=repositories&s=updated&o=desc&p=2 https://github.com/search?q=language%3Aclojure&type=reposito... Note: I examined one project per author.
- eigenhombre 3y agoWe specifically preferred Leiningen for all new projects at my last job because of a number of plugins we still used that were unsupported by Deps. This was a year ago, so that may have changed since I left. I still find Lein a little easier to use, and use it for personal projects, but appreciate Deps's more data-driven, "simpler" approach -- and it seems faster.
