More customizable elide meta?

Question

Is there currently a way to compile with eliding docstrings of all private vars only and all vars in some, but not all, namespaces? If not, is there a workaround?

Answer 1

No, that level of customization is not available currently. Can you say more about what problem you're trying to solve?

Shipping a lib in object code but with docstrings of the public API only, similar to what Datomic does.

I asked the Datomic team and they do this by using elide-meta, but alter-meta at the end of the api namespace to add the docstrings only there.

Very cool tip Alex, thank you for asking!
