RE: Proposal to turn off AOT in clojure-build-system

2024-02-22 Thread Maxime Devos
miliar with the “transformations” functionality of Guix, which allows for easy rewriting of packages to whatever Clojure version you want, eliminating compatibility concerns or even turning off AOT completely. (This requires the relevant versions of Clojure to be packaged in Guix, but that shouldn’t be too much of a problem.) It also appears you are unfamiliar with Guix importers, which easily make package definitions (somewhat low quality w.r.t. descriptions, with lack of verification of freeness, etc., but usually otherwise fully functional). I don’t know if an importer for Clojure exists but it shouldn’t be too difficult I think. Best regards, Maxime Devos.
