I'm just leaving this here as feedback from a non-Clojure user initially trying to get going with Clojure on Windows: https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj/issues/36

Not saying anything should change, but this was just his experience, fwiw: 1) it seemed complicated to get started 2) that the tools downloads dependencies without asking surprises him (and this feedback surprised me, to be honest)

It can be complicated if you don't have a good guide... 😁 https://practicalli.github.io/clojure/clojure-tools/install/ We've had a few hundred students who were complete beginners set up Clojure from scratch for ClojureBridge London using this type of guide and it used to be much harder... especially from windoes

I gather they don't have any experience with other build tools for JVM-based languages? (their complaints -- and the whole tone of their writing -- would apply to pretty much any JVM language and build tool, coming from the languages they list)

yes, I tried to explain that to the user

I saw that. You were more patient than I probably would have been 🙂
