This is part of an ongoing series of blog posts about our ever-evolving use of the Clojure CLI, deps.edn, and Polylith, with our monorepo at World Singles Networks.

With the recent release of tools.build, I wanted to provide a quick example of using it for a CI-like pipeline.

tools.build is focused on "building" things and when the subject has come up on Slack, the feedback has been that the CLI already has a good story for running tests etc, and the consensus seems to be that running multiple CLI commands is the intended usage.

This is part of an ongoing series of blog posts about our ever-evolving use of the Clojure CLI, deps.edn, and Polylith, with our monorepo at World Singles Networks.

Back in April, I talked about us dipping into Polylith at work in deps.edn and monorepos II, and also our planned migration away from clj-http. Since then, we've completed the migration to http-kit and we've also migrated away from clj-time (which is deprecated, because it is based on Joda Time). We've also started refactoring our subprojects into Polylith components. This is another periodic update on where we are in our journey.

A couple of months ago, I wrote about our use of deps.edn with our monorepo at work. I've updated that post to reflect changes we've made recently and I'm going to talk in more detail about those changes in this post.

Our Clojure team is a big fan of reducing dependencies and, in particular, avoiding dependencies that are known to be troublesome (such as the special circle of hell that is all the different versions of the Jackson JSON libraries).

At World Singles Networks llc we have been using a monorepo for several years and it has taken us several iterations to settle on a structure that works well with the Clojure CLI and deps.edn.

Updated April 21st, 2021 to reflect recent changes in our setup. See deps.edn and monorepos II for more details.

For about a decade, I used to speak regularly at conferences and user groups around the world. In 2013, I decided to take a break and just enjoy attending events (here's a small selection of my presentations covering the last three years of that decade).

I've written before about how I switched from Emacs to Atom at the end of 2016, where I initially used ProtoREPL (which is no longer maintained) and then I switched to Chlorine at the end of 2018. I've been very impressed with the work that Mauricio Szabo has done on Chlorine, adding a way to extend the functionality using ClojureScript so that you can add your own commands -- as I do in my atom-chlorine-setup repo so that I can easily work with Reveal (and previously with Cognitect's REBL). I've posted a few Atom/Chlorine/REBL videos to YouTube showing my workflow.

seancorfield/next.jdbc 1.1.610

I recently released 1.1.610 and since it has been about five months since my last post summarizing advances in this library, I thought another summary post would be helpful.
