Leiningen VS SCons

The project.clj file is a configuration file for Leiningen, a build automation and dependency management tool for Clojure. It specifies the project's metadata, dependencies, paths, and other settings necessary for building the project. Let's break down the libraries listed in the project.clj file into two groups: pure Java libraries and Clojure libraries, and describe each. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

Agreed. I started with lein, and still use lein for any 'production ready' project, but I'll use deps.edn for little personal scripts because in those cases lein feels like bloat. For me, using deps.edn was straightforward because of my previous experience with lein. There is a lot of strange shade in the Clojure community; like that thrown at lein. In addition to lein, the ones that get me a lot of negative... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

If you work with any JVM-based language, such as Java, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, Clojure etc., you will most likely have come across build and dependency management tools such as Ant / Ivy, Maven, sbt, Leinengen or Gradle. - Source: dev.to / 24 days ago

NOTE: I won’t mention SBT and Leiningen here because, with all due respect, they are niche build tools. I also won’t discuss Kobalt for the same reason (besides, it’s no longer actively maintained). Additionally, I won’t touch upon Bazel and Buck in this context, mainly because I’m not very familiar with them. If you have insights or comments about these tools, please feel free to share them in the comments 👇. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

I've been using Clojure for ... Some time now; I think I started experimenting with it in 2009, possibly earlier. At both Aviso and Walmart I have used, and often fought with, Leiningen, the standard build tool. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

The most comprehensive make alternative in python I've seen is Scons (https://scons.org/) It would be worth to see how they tackles some of the challenges you're looking into. Blurb from the website: SCons is an Open Source software construction tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

I literally do almost this exact thing with the game im working on. Situation is: im the programmer, working with an artist who cant code (and im not going to make them edit json on an ipad lmao) so I have a google drive spreadsheet where they put metadata for the items they make. I have a script that uses rclone to copy this down as a csv, along with the image assets. Then I wrote a python extension for scons... Source: about 1 year ago

It's a build tool, like cmake. https://scons.org/ you have to install it. Source: about 1 year ago
