I could not get leiningen to install under Win10 a week ago, was quite a sobering experience. Some site that was linked to download from got a 404, then I got directed towards some bat script, which complained about HTTPS certification issues (lol)? Took less than 5 minutes under a linux server though, so thats something, I guess. But still, its kinda mind-blowing how much Win users are ignored.

i really don't see the point of developing anything java-related on windows.

then again, I'm probably just being oblivious.

I've been learning Clojure and ClojureScript in my spare time. I can honestly say that one thing that would make adoption a lot more wide-spread is a better way to include NPM modules in the project.

I know that there is a new feature for it, but the documentation was a little cryptic. Ended up just adding some CLJSJS dependencies to my project and giving up on using the NPM module I _really_ wanted to use.

In the end, that could be because i'm just lazy, though. I'd love to hear what others think on this topic.

Been working on a cljs project and took me a solid week to get npm integration working. The documentation is either wrong or incomplete on both the official site and the wikis for lein/boot.

Support for NPM modules out of the box is a hot topic in the cljs community, imo things have greatly improved even in the past few months.

Try shadow-cljs https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16866085 you want npm modules in ClojureScript and you get npm modules in your ClojureScript. If not, then I'm quite sure you can get help from thheller who created shadow-cljs.

I saw David adding commands that Windows users need in the docs. Personally I don't like treating Windows users like how I treated Linux/macOS users. You chose Windows, you chose the hard way, you have to figure it out on you own.

Post your question to http://clojureverse.org/ see if others can help.

i think the underlying problem is that the documentation is incomplete and/or outright incorrect.

CLJSJS was a life-saver for me, at least.
