oh oh https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/commit/91aeeab2ab6fa38186a17867710210ef06719dcf

just a test for now but given the commit comment looks like they are moving to min java11

not sure how many people still use java8 but that might become a problem then

hrm, though I guess it is 8 years old, I do think a significant number of users have moved on, though I don't think this is captured in the survey? Maybe @alexmiller knows

you're asking about jvm version usage?

this is from 2022 results if that helps ...

(answers are multi-select)

OTOH, the JVM usage in CLJS is at build time, it's not the same as running with JVM in production

https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJS-2820 describes an issue w/ using cljs.loader in a project that doesn't use :modules. cljs.loader isn't compiled to javascript unless the compiler options include :modules. I have a project that would benefit from being compiled with or without code splitting depending on the deployment environment, and compiling cljs.loader when not using modules is necessary to support that. This requires a couple minor changes to cljs.closure/compile-loader. I'd like to submit a patch for that. Any thoughts/things I should be aware of before submitting that?

@tomc can't think of anything - go for it

@alexmiller thanks!

I added a patch on https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/CLJS-2820 and am attempting to follow the directions at https://clojure.org/dev/developing_patches but I don't see the "edit" button in Jira. I'm unsure if I'm just missing it or if I need to be given permission to edit tickets.
