Clojurians Log v2

@lee thanks for the summary and filing. i like the native-image idea, but it's very new and its windows offering feels weak at the moment. for building an .exe, there is a pkg-lumo project which, iiuc, is supposed to package up lumo along with extra bits of one's desire into an .exe. i didn't have luck with the sample, but it looks interesting. also, i have heard jaotc mentioned a bit, but haven't seen it applied in a sample. on a related note, i have had some luck with the clj-windows unofficial clj tooling. that's written in go lang iiuc.

@sogaiu windows is new, but it works - the only thing I’m wondering about is which dependency you need to install apart from your binary. it seems 2010 c++ redistributable works. I wish the GraalVM folks would document this

i would very much like for it to work out - it's just not working as well for me atm :)

me too 😉

fyi, I’m considering moving from scoop to chocolatey after all: https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/issues/283

it seems a practical approach -- it appears that scoop does support runtime dependencies (see under https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/App-Manifests#user-content-optional-properties), but if there isn't a package for the redistributable, it appears moot (unless perhaps one can be provided?)

fwiw, the field to look for is named "depends"

btw, are there any statistics for how many Clojure users are on Windows?

there are units of us

I sort of straddle the divide. My day job is all Linux (and macOS for dev, for me) but outside work I use both Windows and macOS, so I do some amount of Clojure work -- OSS work -- on Windows.
