Clojurians Log v2

@ales.najmann @borkdude @sogaiu Thanks for all the hints. scoop works great, good work on the clr-scoop, @ales.najmann!

what are the experiences with wsl / wsl2 - is that used a lot nowadays? is it worth waiting for wsl2 or is wsl already pretty usable?

I believe it is fairly popular (some) among developers. It is definitely the cheapest option to run Linux software. It has nice integration with OS and it works even on Windows Home edition, where support for Hyper-V is not present.

tnx

I've used WSL heavily since the very early prerelease days (when you couldn't run Java on it!). It's "slow" but it works beautifully.

The Windows/WSL integration is really slick. I accidentally ran scoop update clojure in Ubuntu and it happily updated my Windows Powershell install of clojure.

WSL2 runs as a full virtual system with a very thin VM shim (if you have the necessary features available on your system -- I have an old Windows Home setup on my laptop and an already virtualized Windows Pro setup on my iMac and I can't enable the VM features on either machine, so I'm stuck with WSL1).

i haven't been able to determine clearly whether wsl2 will practically work inside, say, a virtualbox windows 10 guest os. the wsl2 faq gives the impression that wsl2 might be able to run inside a guest os, but iiuc searches leading to virtualbox forums seem to suggest it would be way too slow at this point.
