@seancorfield might be time to consider creating a #seans-deps-edn channel here? 😉

Is there a preference or recommendation between these two (equivalent) styles of specifying a version:

{:deps {some/library {:mvn/version "2.7.42"}}}

and

{:deps {some/library #:mvn {:version "2.7.42"}}}

? (yes I realise this is a stylistic question not a technical one - I’m wondering if there’s a preferred / recommended / idiomatic style for deps.edn content)

I'd say namespaced maps are not mentioned in https://github.com/edn-format/edn, so if deps.edn is intended to live up to the .edn on the end, leave out the namespaced maps

Ooooh that’s very interesting! Thanks!

the Clojure edn reader does read namespace maps but hiredman is correct that this is not currently part of the spec
