There was an update on the next-gen convenience images last night: https://discuss.circleci.com/t/next-gen-clojure-convenience-image-now-ga-stable/42790
Thanks for adding #babashka to the CircleCI clojure image :)
👍 Yeah it’s a nice addition
I was just wondering if it would be worth having variants with the graal substratevm in them; but I guess that would only allow generating binaries for linux (which covers many of my use cases for it). However I guess it’s not worth adding it at this level as I guess there’s no drop in solution for generating platform specific binaries on the 3 main platforms; and this needs to be hand cranked on the machine executors?
A prebuilt image is just a docker image, which is just a series of tarballs downloaded from us-east-1 S3. So as a trick you can create a “layer” for anything by hosting a tarball in S3 and using curl | tar to add it to another image. If you don't gzip it's actually faster
