Hello everyone

How is it possible

to clear Visual studio code

By chance does anyone know of a windows VirtualBox VM that's less than 20 GB?

@jayzawrotny I think 20gb is the absolute limit for windows 7 64 bit

so you would have to go down to xp or earlier probably

I found this which is a bit closer to 10 GB https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

from about 15:04:00 onwards 🙂 for those seeking to find 🙂

(however, listening to the entire session is worthwhile too! 🙂 )

I'll be getting a Windows box next week. I haven't used Windows in nearly 10 years. I'm excited because I'm genuinely impressed by the results of Microsoft's hyper-aggressive targeting of developers. As a Clojure user, any super-important things I should know that could save a few headaches? Or is it pretty much straightforward, read the docs and you're good to go? I've only used Linux for the past decade.

@porkostomus You'll definitely want to install/setup WSL2 so you have Linux available alongside Windows. But it will have no UI, so you'll also want to get used to Powershell for starting up any Clojure/Java processes with a UI.

Scoop is a good package manager for Windows, and that's an easy way to install the Clojure CLI, Babashka, and a bunch of Clojure stuff...

See https://github.com/littleli/scoop-clojure

@porkostomus What editor setup have you been using on Linux?

I use nearly all of them from time to time, but VSCode/Calva is my current favorite

Oh, then that will be an easy transition since it should be mostly identical in experience.

(some hotkeys may differ)

Yeah... that's what I mean aout Microsoft getting me hooked... their tooling is just too nice
