Comment on Clojure builds as an amalgamation of orthogonal parts

Comments

Clojure aficionados love to obesess over this stuff or maybe it's a leftover from their Java days. You come away from Rich Hickey's sermons on the Mount all fired-up with the value of simplicity and before you know it you're knee deep in Clojure's build tools maze - lein, boot, deps.edn, clij, shadow-cljs, tools.deps, tools.build. Clojure blazed the trail for simplicity but as far as build tools are concerned only Go managed to pull it off.
