RE: No "clojure --version" switch

[sean]

Or just type:                 clojure or:               clj   And it announces the version and starts a REPL – which is documented usage.   I think one of the “issues” here is that clojure / clj are scripts that have an inherent version behind them (clojure -Sdescribe) but the version of Clojure that they run with is context-dependent. deps.edn can specify any Clojure back to … Clojure 1.1 it seems:   seanc@DESKTOP-QU2UJ1N:~$ clojure -Sdeps '{:deps {org.clojure/clojure {:mvn/version "1.1.0"}}}' Clojure 1.1.0 user=> *clojure-version* {:major 1, :minor 1, :incremental 0, :qualifier ""} user=>   Given that, I think that a –version option on clojure would be misleading since it is not reporting the version of the clojure / clj scripts.   Sean Corfield -- (970) FOR-SEAN -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood   From: Alan Thompson Sent: Tuesday, May 7, 2019 4:50 PM To: clojure Subject: No "clojure --version" switch   Seems we should have the "--version" switch that is pretty universal.  Right now, the best one can do is    > clojure --eval "(clojure-version)" "1.10.0"   which is hard for a new user to figure out.  Jira ticket?   Alan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
