I have an idea for a library that fits in a tweet, and tweets are immutable, can we have twitter procurer?

dpsutton00:11:55

I wrote one one time. But just fetching the tweet leaves longer messages truncated so I abounded it

hiredman00:11:09

I mean, for clojure, since it is already expression oriented, you could do something like a reader tag that loads an expression from Twitter(or wherever) instead of via the deps machinery

vlaaad07:11:32

I had no idea it was tried already!

I made a fun library that defines code from tweets: https://github.com/vlaaad/tweet-def

@U064X3EF3 I currently implemented tweet deps as a library ^^^, but I think it makes more sense to have tweet deps as a part of tools-deps toolchain… do you think Clojure tools could support it?

Alex Miller (Clojure team)13:11:47

Dep sources are an open extension point - you have the power to adapt it into tools.deps :)

clojure.tools.deps.alpha.extensions

What doesn't exist at the moment is the ability to install and use an extension with the CLI

vlaaad13:11:32

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about..

Alex Miller (Clojure team)13:11:47

Well if you did the other work I'd think more about that :)

Maybe as April Fool's special...
