Clojure 1.9 is now available!
Clojure 1.9 introduces two major new features: integration with spec and command line tools. spec (rationale <https://clojure.org/about/spec>, guide <https://clojure.org/guides/spec>) is a library for describing the structure of data and functions with support for: - Validation - Error reporting - Destructuring - Instrumentation - Test-data generation - Generative test generation - Documentation Clojure integrates spec via two new libraries (still in alpha): - spec.alpha <https://github.com/clojure/spec.alpha> - spec implementation - core.specs.alpha <https://github.com/clojure/core.specs.alpha> - specifications for Clojure itself This modularization facilitates refinement of spec separate from the Clojure release cycle. The command line tools (guide <https://clojure.org/guides/deps_and_cli>, reference <https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli>) provide: - Quick and easy install - Clojure REPL and runner - Use of Maven and local dependencies - A functional API for classpath management (tools.deps.alpha <https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha>) The installer is available for Mac developers in brew, for Linux users in a script, and for more platforms in the future. For more information, see the complete list <https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md> of all changes in Clojure 1.9 for more details. *Contributors* Thanks to all of the community members who contributed to Clojure 1.9 (first time contributors in bold): - *Adam Clements* - Andy Fingerhut - Brandon Bloom - *Cameron Desautels* - *Chad Taylor* - Chris Houser - *David Bürgin* - *Eli Lindsey* - *Gerrit Jansen Van Vuuren* - Ghadi Shayban - *Greg Leppert* - *Jason Whitlark* - *Johan Mena* - Jozef Wagner - *Lee Yen-Chin* - *Matthew Boston* - Michael Blume - Michał Marczyk - Nicola Mometto - *Ruslan Al-Fakikh* - *Steffen Dienst* - Steve Miner - *Yegor Timoshenko* - *Zhuang XiaoDan* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
