The latest change is extra important, because it fixes problems with Calva formatting that has stopped it from working in some files with idiomatic Clojure code. (Due to a dependency on legacy rewrite-cljs).

I specifically remember this hitting @U21QNFC5C. Maybe it's time to try out Calva again? 😀

@U0ETXRFEW Haha, Calva was great, but unfortunately I was too fond of intellij text editing and multiple cursors.

https://github.com/magnars/optimus, a ring middleware for frontend performance optimisation, is out of its 0.x infancy after 9 years. It will concatenate, minify, cache-bust and otherwise optimise your frontend assets. The newest release [optimus "2022-02-13"] has: • Pluggable JS engine via JSR223. Execute JS optimisations w/ GraalJS, Nashorn or Rhino. • This means that the dependency on clj-v8 and its V8 binaries are gone. This allows us to: • Add support for Windows and M1 macs.

Despite Rich publicly castigating semantic versioning, I still like it and have continued to use it. The primary alternative that I’m aware of has been github hashcodes, which I don’t like due to their opacity. But using the release date? I love it! ❤️

I'm doing the same for clj-kondo :) @U07FCNURX I remember having used your ring middleware in one of my first Clojure projects almost a decade or so ago and remember that a colleague who was using Windows could not run this. Nice to see it finally got addressed :).

Windows support was a long time coming, since Nashorn was roughly 10x slower than V8, which reduced the utility of Optimus too much. Thankfully JSR223 with GraalJS works great on all sorts of machines. 🙂

a significant downside of using dashed date versions is that Maven doesn't understand that. clj-kondo's dotted dates are much better for that.

magnars20:02:08

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind going forward! 👍

borkdude20:02:38

One thing I will maybe change about clj-kondo's format is strip the leading zeroes, e.g. 2022.02.08 will become 2022.2.8

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:02:06

that might break sorting in some scenarios

Alex Miller (Clojure team)20:02:53

certainly breaks lexicographic sorting. Maven version comparators convert those to numbers so that should be ok, but tooling around maven things is not always so good

borkdude20:02:37

Well maybe for the next project that will adopt that kind of versioning. I already had to do this processing for clj-kondo's LSP package (which uses the same version as clj-kondo) on npm since they don't even accept these leading zeroes.

Just started a text-formatting library https://github.com/rorokimdim/pp-grid Designed for the repl. Please see some of the examples in README to learn more. Initial alpha version 0.0.1 just uploaded to clojars. I'm a hobby clojurist. Still learning clojure. So will appreciate help in improving the code, fixing bugs or adding features. Thank you!

I checked your library. Very impressive.

cheel18:02:44

thanks for checking it out!
