I don't think we advance compile the node part of our electron app, but we do advance compile the browser part

Just checked, we use :simple for the node process, :advanced for the browser process

As for reasons, bundle size is not as important for a .dmg file, which is anyway 50M+ because you're shipping an entire Chromium browser etc

that is interesting, thanks

:advanced is less code, so it does improve startup time a little bit even if no network is involved

Mutable or immutable tries? A lot of the persistent collections are built on tries under the hood. You mean like some of those fancy suffix tree string search data structures?

Not sure if it fits your usecase, but clojure.data.avl, and tonsky's persistent-sorted-set are pretty cool, depending on what you are looking for. https://github.com/tonsky/persistent-sorted-set, https://github.com/clojure/data.avl, provided you are looking for immutable offerings.

If other things don't work, you can probably use ^js/Object.

ah, of course! ty

note that it is almost always better to create a helper function that handles the tag, than doing the tagging in the macro

(defn get-provider [^js ctx] (.-Provider ctx)) in use (get-provider ~ctx) in the macro

:advanced will cause it to be inlined most likely anyways so there isn't even any code difference

and imho its much easier to read and understand the related macro code

also often actually generates much less code

I like that

also in the above the $ (which I assume is a macro) could handle the tagging, so having the ^js/React.Element is not actually needed if it did

this is the issue I’m trying to fix: https://github.com/lilactown/helix/pull/104

helper function seems best

also, technically I think ^js would put externs on Object whereas ^js/Object would put externs on Object.prototype. Does that matter?

maybe that difference wasn’t actually intended, but it’s there

Is there some documentation somewhere on the relationship between tags and externs..?

Word, thanks!
