Yep. But having this feature only in shadow-cljs doesn't do much for the ecosystem as a whole since non-portable. With this change, many tools, cljsbuild, Figwheel, etc. have the same capabilities. It also opens the door for creating ClojureScript libraries that depend on node_modules and these can again be consumed with any tool.


Thank you so much for all of your work on ClojureScript, @swannodette!

I love the work that's been done on shadow-cljs (and the maintainer is amazing) -- I've had a vastly easier and more stable time than with JS bundlers.

That said, in building a business on top of Clojure(Script), it's incredibly reassuring to know that shadow isn't a single point of failure.

This feature will make integrating/selling ClojureScript into existing projects easier too -- I only wish that I'd had this when moving from company to company a few years ago -- I'd have brought ClojureScript to a number of places. :)


@swannodette In the library case does the cljs built library need a clojure runtime bundled? Or does banning eval and running it through Closure allow for only the bare minimum to be pulled through?


Just wanted to pile on the thanks, too. CLJS spoiled me for just about any other way of doing front end work.


Thanks David, that sounds pretty great!
