Huh. A recent question on the Clojure Google group is fun in its implications for Clojure and its tools: Github and Maven projects whose names begin with a digit like this one: https://github.com/2captcha/2captcha-java https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.github.2captcha/2captcha-java

I vote for the string lib name
2021-05-16T02:17:32.146Z
Quickest workaround I can think of is to create a Java wrapper lib around it that avoids Clojure needing to see any names starting with a digit
seancorfield 2021-05-16T02:38:05.146200Z
It works just fine with Leiningen…
2021-05-16T02:43:31.146400Z
Hmm. I should have tried out more things before mentioning this. Sorry.
seancorfield 2021-05-16T02:44:19.146600Z
It doesn’t work with deps.edn because the EDN is invalid with the leading 2.
alexmiller 2021-05-16T02:44:31.146800Z
you can use whatever lib name you like in deps.edn
alexmiller 2021-05-16T02:44:43.147Z
oh, this is maven lib
seancorfield 2021-05-16T02:45:53.147700Z
If it was a :git/url or :local/root you mean @alexmiller?
alexmiller 2021-05-16T02:46:02.147900Z
yeah
alexmiller 2021-05-16T02:47:51.148100Z
well, happy to get an ask.clojure question to think about it
alexmiller 2021-05-16T03:11:13.148300Z
a wrapper wouldn't help as you'd still get it as a transitive dep
alexmiller 2021-05-16T03:14:05.148500Z
maven central doesn't have any groupIds that start with a number, but there are probably ~100 artifactIds that do
alexmiller 2021-05-16T03:14:56.148700Z
(which is a tiny percentage of maven central of course)
alexmiller 2021-05-16T03:16:18.148900Z
my initial thought would be to allow string lib names that canonicalize to a symbol
alexmiller 2021-05-16T03:16:50.149100Z
or support some escape character that's ignored
