How to use core.async from cljr command line tool?

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:05:40 +0000

At some point it would be good to facilitate use of core.async from cljr command line tool (clr.core.cli).

I think what's required is:

add a deps-clr.edn to clojure/tools.analyzer
add a deps-clr.edn to clojure/tools.analyzer.clr (depends on tools.analyzer, clr.tools.reader, clr.core.memoize -> clr.core.cache -> clr.data.priority-map)
add a deps-clr.edn to clojure/clr.core.async
also, archive clojure/clr.tools.analyzer

This is not urgent because it's possible to procure core.async from NuGet but it would be convenient if it could also be procured via git.

Does cljr -Sdeps work for other people?

Putting the dependencies in a deps-clr.edn file works.

But not via cljr -Sdeps. E.g.: try to launch nREPL server:
$ cljr -Sdeps '{:deps {io.github.clojure/clr.tools.nrepl {:git/tag "v0.1.2-alpha2"}}}' -X clojure.tools.nrepl/start-server! Clojure core loaded in 4177 milliseconds. Starting exec/tool Clojure core loaded in 4207 milliseconds. Namespace could not be loaded: clojure.tools.nrepl

I did custom compile some things so wondering if it's just me. The README for clr.core.cli says -Sdeps is supported.

I can malform the string and seems to throw no errors, I don't think it's being processed.

Well I'll poke around and report back what I find meanwhile.
