Clojurians Log v2

> Builds are designed to be easily executed as a project “tool” in the Clojure CLI (with -T). In the Clojure CLI, “tools” are programs that provide functionality and do not use your project deps or classpath. Tools executed with -T:an-alias remove all project deps and paths, add "." as a path, and include any other deps or paths as defined in :an-alias.

thanks dpsutton!

so if i call it with -X, then it's going to use "all the project deps" to do what exactly? create the env that builds the jar, which is wasteful? e.g we don't need ring middlware to build the jar?

i should read the docs... the whole thing is right there lol.

classpath is kinda innocuous if you don’t use it. But better to only have stuff you actually need. And you don’t want conflicts and weird resolution about your project when you are building it
