as an intermediate idea for Windows but possibly also other problematic OSes, might a clojure-cli.jar work, that you can just start with java -jar clojure-cli.jar? Not as fast, but at least you've got something to work with. And that jar could possible work with GraalVM at some point

what would a fairly complex command line look like though ... maybe double escaping of the java parts

borkdude 2019-06-25T11:22:17.179400Z

pff yeah

carkh 2019-06-25T11:22:54.179900Z

how is it with a graalvm executable ?

carkh 2019-06-25T11:23:12.180600Z

do you make your own command line ? or are there soem default switches and options

borkdude 2019-06-25T11:23:16.180800Z

not so easy, we're figuring out which dlls are needed on other systems than the system where the binary is compiled

borkdude 2019-06-25T11:23:46.181200Z

for command line there are several libraries you could use, I chose to just roll my own simple parser

carkh 2019-06-25T11:24:29.182Z

so you don't have to work around existing stuff like with the java executable

carkh 2019-06-25T11:24:42.182200Z

nice

carkh 2019-06-25T11:25:59.183Z

i'm keeping an eye on the graalvm channel, been following your woes

Trying to install Clojure on Win 7 with this script. I changed the protocol to 'Tls' , but I don't how to get past this error.

@paulgureghian What error are you getting with the PS script?

PaulGureghian 2019-06-25T23:58:39.185200Z

seancorfield 2019-06-25T23:58:46.185600Z

I think most folks who've tried the script are using Windows 10...

seancorfield 2019-06-25T23:59:37.186200Z

Hmm, I wonder if Invoke-WebRequest is relatively new in Powershell?
