I'm just leaving this here as feedback from a non-Clojure user initially trying to get going with Clojure on Windows: https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj/issues/36

Not saying anything should change, but this was just his experience, fwiw: 1) it seemed complicated to get started 2) that the tools downloads dependencies without asking surprises him (and this feedback surprised me, to be honest)

I gather they don't have any experience with other build tools for JVM-based languages? (their complaints -- and the whole tone of their writing -- would apply to pretty much any JVM language and build tool, coming from the languages they list)

yes, I tried to explain that to the user

I saw that. You were more patient than I probably would have been 🙂
