@clojurians.net you mentioned a new release that's in the works. Have you considered having alternate versions that are a bit more minimalist ? In the repl podcast the author of expound mentioned how much he tried to have it without any dependencies. My thought was to have something that just has the macros for the >defn stuff 🙂

yep sure 🙂 will do 🙂

@claudiu The one thing that I've been considering is having an alternative stubs-only production version where the macros desugar to just plain defns and everything compiles correctly but doesn't do anything and doesn't have any dependencies. Is that what you mean?

(And btw – can you send me a link to the podcast?)

@clojurians.net not really. I mean have ghostwheel just provide the syntactic sugar for >defn. And the other stuff like traces, side-effect detection as extra opt-in packages.

If I like >defn and only want that, without other deps my only option is to write my own. Seeing people do that thats why Im asking

So no test generation either?

claudiu 2018-11-21T14:37:35.007900Z

don't know exactly what's possible. Personally would love to have just the basic syntax and the other ones as addons : like https://github.com/metosin/reitit

It's all coupled together pretty tightly at the moment, but in theory some things should be extractable into separate modules. I like the idea of that and will give it some thought. Definitely won't happen for this release though, cause I'm already in the cleanup phase and this is a more major undertaking.

Thanks for the link

And by the way, if you see anyone dropping it or reimplementing parts of it because of some inconvenience, please do urge them to open issues/feature requests, I'd love to see adoption increase and I need to know this stuff. 🙂
