Clojurians Log v2

is that a limitation in practice though (apart from the Home issue)

if you need home to run wsl2, that effectively makes software that depends on it pro only no?

from a faq:

Does WSL 2 use Hyper-V? Will it be available on Windows 10 Home?
WSL 2 will be available on all SKUs where WSL is currently available, including Windows 10 Home.

oh, nice find. that sounds like pretty good news! the page also mentions that wsl 1 will remain supported -- at least atm -- apparently.

If tooling like VSCode and scoop will integrate well with wsl2, then distributing binaries for Windows is a solved problem by just using the linux-compiled ones I guess. And this will open up possibilities using Clojure on GraalVM for that platform.

VSCode integrates with wsl2 via remote execution

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview

it'll run a server on WSL (or on a remote machine) and the UI on the local machine

extensions are also remote aware

for the case of clj-kondo, yes it should work

it's not really windows support but rather WSL support though

I had been looking into this recently as that is how I intended to run clj-kondo 😛

in general though, this is the sort of thing that only helps advanced users

novice or intermediate users have enough trouble getting things to work consistently on their own local OS, and adding a second OS with super specific limitations to manage does not help

@borkdude Sounds like they've changed something with WSL 2 then, so it will run on Home edition. It wouldn't last time I tried (I'm in the slightly complicated case of having Home on my laptop and Pro on my Mac desktop (as a VM) -- so my Pro install has no Hyper-V support. Again, at least last time I looked 🙂
