You don’t need to lobby for votes, we’ll get these fixed, some are already out there with patches

Unimportant question, but: why doesn't data_readers.clj(c) have the .edn extension? It's not evaluated. Was data_readers.clj included before or after reader conditionals and was this the reason for the .clj extension?

edn didn't exist
imre 2023-05-17T15:02:53.951999Z
is this a special case in the compiler?
Alex Miller (Clojure team) 2023-05-17T15:03:09.138049Z
if we made it today, it would be edn
Alex Miller (Clojure team) 2023-05-17T15:03:24.992409Z
maybe the other weirdness is that it has vars and those don't have edn rep
borkdude 2023-05-17T15:03:44.874219Z
how does it have vars?
Alex Miller (Clojure team) 2023-05-17T15:04:10.379009Z
oh, sorry I'm just misremembering b/c that's how it exists in memory
borkdude 2023-05-17T15:04:57.355579Z
it's quite handy that you can use reader conditionals to distinguish between clojure dialects. I don't know how you would do that with just .edn so maybe it was a happy sequence of design decisions. Else maybe we would get data_reader.cljs.edn or so

many years on, I have lots of design feedback for the creators of data_readers :)

@alexmiller I'm curious if there's an ETA on Alpha 4? (I'm moving some stuff around on our Jira board at work and have ticket for testing against Alpha 3 which was "In Progress" but I'm wondering whether to backlog it or keep it on the board if Alpha 4 is "near") Thanks!

at least a week
