I wouldn’t rule out some sort of bundle artifact like this in the future, but the audience for this (that is not better served by installing clj) is quite small imo.
That is, the audiences we are serving are something like: 1) people using Clojure for project work - need transitive dep resolution and a tool like clj (or lein or boot) 2) tire kickers - just want a repl and no deps initially. If you presume the coming existence of clj on windows, and the majority using Mac with brew, this is easy now. 3) tire kickers with an aversion to installers (prob Linux) - you can git clone and build from the repo in < minute. Note that as soon as you move out of tire kicking, you’re stuck and need a tool. 4) tinkerers - if you want to modify Clojure and make your own builds then you need to build yourself I’ll contend 1 and 2 are vastly larger groups and 3 sets you up to get stuck right when you’re making headway so we should de-emphasize. If you’re in 4, then you are already prepared to clone and build things. For all these reasons (and others, like not wanting to publish a composite artifact that can yield problems in combination), we decided not to publish something like this for now. We will keep evaluating this as things evolve. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
