shadow-cljs 2025-12-23

Question re: preferred dependencies methods for shadow-cljs: I went down a rabbit hole trying to use posh and re-posh, which are currently broken for recent DataScript releases, and the maintainer hasn't responded in 1.5 years to a PR fixing the issue, so I needed to use the PR as a dependency. This means I needed to switch to deps in deps.edn vs. shadow-cljs.edn. It feels from the user guide that we prefer shadow-cljs.edn for deps. Is this right?

use whatever you like. most people use deps.edn nowadays I guess.

makes no difference to the build results

we actively use all three of lein, deps, and shadow's own dependency management (on various different projects), it's all good

I'm curious, @thheller - what do you think of shadow's own dependency management? Is it vestigial now?

Is there a place where I can make a PR to the user guide, I don't see a gh-pages branch? I'd like to clarify some of this.

(If you don't mind.)
