Hello! Could master of tools.deps.alpha be merged into add-libs please? The add-libs is of tools.deps.alpha-0.7.541 (August 9th), not tools.deps.alpha-0.7.549 (September 17th)?

Thank you very much 🙂 I guess, any reason why add-lib can't be brought in to master? It's super useful 🙂

I don’t think you’re missing anything from master - just some tweaks in the specs (which aren’t used)

fantastic! 🙂 Thank you (for clarifying!)

There are issues with add-lib in some environments and it’s unlikely to end up included in its current form (some of it may actually be moved into Clojure itself)

kk, that's good to know. Havin the ability to dynamically pull in a dep - for experimentation on the repl, is amazingly useful to have 🙂

(and given clojure's great interop, doing that playing around is a very happy process!)

Why move it into clojure @alexmiller? Which bits?

the part that tracks the current “libs” currently in use could be built in. It’s already designed to be initialized in a couple ways so even non tools.deps tools could convey the lib set via those means. add-lib itself relies on tools.deps so that probably cannot move, but the parts that update the lib set could be genetically useful

Generically :)

What's the goal of making the concept of a library first class? I can imagine using it to affect requires in different ways (e.g. Namespace versioning). Is there a set of goals in mind yet?

No, none of this is baked which is why it’s on a branch

There are a lot of potentially interesting things that could be done though
