Given the number of people (mostly beginners) who seem to run into problems with the CLI because they have an older version and are following either newer instructions or trying to use libraries that rely on newer features, I wonder whether it would be worth adding a check to the script that would output a warning if the current stable version is more recent (from the download site)? I know that won't help people who already have an old version installed but it would at least help future people... ...or is the command-line "API" stable enough at this point that it wouldn't be worth it?

i think this is already on your radar… but be mindful of folks working in network secured environments , definitely needs a cli flag to disable , probably timeout the connection very quickly and/or do it async

perhaps clojure and clj would have different defaults here

Probably worth doing, feel free to add an ask for it

I've been thinking about this but never asked the question. Thanks, upvoted 🙂
