My brain and google is failing me - are there docs anywhere for importing specific parts of a lib? We want to use only the dynamodb parts of amazonica, and importing the whole thing is huge/takes ages when building an uberjar

I'm sure boot offers a way to only pull in specific namespaces or similar, but I'm failing at finding out how

@carr0t what does boot show -d have to say about dependencies pulled in by amazonica, eg. com.amazonaws/aws-java-sdk*

does it pull in multiple separate modules that you might not need?

if so you can use :exclusions in your amazonica dependency

but in general there is no tree shaking performed when collecting dependencies for uberjars

but amazon does provide separate artifacts for the different services (eg EC2, SQS, S3, etc)

Ahha, :exclusions was it

you can see those here: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.amazonaws

Amazonica pulls in a whole load of other stuff. Actually we probably want to exclude most of it. Is there any kind of :exclusions * :inclusions [...]?

i don't believe so

Aah well. Ta 🙂

@micha I remember you writing some .scm code, I am looking for a lisp with good REPL and good C interop, which one would you suggest me to look into?

i used guile and chicken scheme, and racket

what kind of work are you planning to do?

common lisp is also an option, maybe?

depends how important performance is to you

@micha basically performance is not a problem for now, but I want to use libraries that have been battle tested for crypto for instance

but want to preserve Clojure's semantics and immutability if possible

ah, i haven't used any scheme that has immutable by default semantics

also looking at https://ferret-lang.org/ 🙂

there is pixie, is that still going?

I think that is not maintained anymore

interesting

well no, maybe I am wrong: https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie/commits/master

ferret looks interesting

yep definitely, but I see no REPL, I opened an issue, pixie is actually close to what I am looking for

given a lisp you can make a repl 🙂

I don't see interop in pixie though...but will explore more

yeah definitely true 😉

via python perhaps

yeah it says > Easy FFI

thanks a lot! sorry for the ping but I remembered you had some project with alternatives to Clojure 😉

any time

i have the day off today!

cool, btw - easy https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie/blob/master/examples/mandelbrot.pxi

haha i was just looking at that

looks pretty easy to do ffi in there

yeah 😄
