Clojurians Log v2
releases
#gloat version v0.1.23
#glojure version v0.6.5-rc15
• Added support for -Xreport extension. Creates a detailed report of the sizes of parts of a gloat generated binary.
◦ Binaries are currently very big. 28MB for hello-world.clj compiled with a tree-shaken clojure.core (`-Xprune`).
◦ See https://gloathub.org/build-report/ for a sample HTML report
◦ Also can generate the report as Markdown: https://gist.github.com/ingydotnet/f7f0e7e435a80dceb9938afd6fbcc30a

Binary size reduction and runtime performance improvements are the current focus for Gloat. Gloat promises to be a replacement/alternative to GraalVM's native-image for Clojure, with: • Much faster build times • Much farther reach to platforms (cross-compiles to almost anywhere) ◦ Including Wasm for both browser and server • A 100% Open Source license. It already works but needs to produce smaller and faster binaries and be tested against more real world Clojure code to be production grade. Binary sizes were nearly twice as big when I first announced Gloat here, so much progress has been made. These new build reports show a lot of promise for continued improvement.
I think you're doing really neat work! I haven't had much time to play with it yet, but I'd like to. I also noticed that you have a fork for glojure. Will those changes make it back into the upstream project?
That's the plan.
For all you OGs working with battle-proven Clojure technology, here's a new release of ring-swagger – 1.1.0!
• BREAKING Drop support for Java 8
• Support Jakarta Servlet API for servlet context resolution (eg. for Jetty 12)
