` (deftask touch-file [fname] (fn [next-handler] (fn [fileset] (clojure.java.shell/sh "touch" fname)

(next-handler fileset))))

I then call it via (touch-file "appengine-web.xml")

and I get an error of the form argspec->clj wrong number of args(1)

what am I doing wrong?

ha, got it working, deftask has some weird way of passing arguments

@qqq Tasks have complete CLI parsing built-in — they are not exactly “just functions” 🙂

@seancorfield: yeah, it all makes sense in 2020 hindsight

does the design of boot arbitrarly decide I can not have functions with more than 52 arguments?

(since it requires that each arg has a unique single char alias)

when dealing with cljs in boot; what controls the creation of the "main.out" and the "out" directories?

can I run two boots from the same directory, one with optimizations none and one with optimizations advanced? or will the two clobber each other due to things like .nrepl-port ?

@qqq nrepl-port will be clobbered, but you can set the port with task options

also you can have as many options as you like, but not all can have single char aliases

you can use nil for the short option for those

or _

the main.out and out directories are set up by boot-cljs, because those options are related in tricky ways to other options
