Montly Clojure Library updates
Thoughts for the week
Exploring the mysteries of the Bazel build tool at work. Whilst technically its a very powerful tool it really lacks a good developer experience.
Its supposed to be a more powerful make, although ironically I use a Makefile so that Bazel is much easier to use.
It could be an opportunity to use Babashka, but that would be more work than using a Makefile as I dont have much Babashka experience.
Clojure CLI Configλ︎
Monthly library version updates, including newer versions of actions in the Quality Checks GitHub workflow
Also updated the version of the Practicalli Project Templates in the :project/create alias. The templates have been updated to use org.clojure/clojure version 1.10.3, which addresses security concerns (although very unlikely to be exploited).
Bazelλ︎
Bazel is a very powerful tool although not very user friendly. Bazel is described as a more powerful make tool, however, I have ended up using make to wrap many of the bazel commands to give a much more usable experience.
Thank you.
