org.clojure/clojurescript (and other runtime dependencies)

[psagers]

While setting up production builds for a datahike-based project, I took a look at the dependency tree to see what was getting pulled in. In particular, I noticed that datahike has a runtime dependency on the ClojureScript compiler (org.clojure/clojurescript). Is that actually necessary? I added it as an exclusion and my compiled uberjar went from 60MB to 37MB.

I gather that datahike would like to support ClojureScript again someday, but wouldn't it still be a build-time dependency, either via shadow-cljs or something else?

In general, I wonder if any of the other root dependencies (e.g. orchestra) would be better suited to dev/test/build aliases to help keep production classpaths tidy?

Thanks

• orchestra was an accident and PR fix: remove orchestra from prod #612 will move it to :dev and :test
• incognito seems to be unused at the moment - @kordano @whilo Do you know where it was used and if not using it anymore is intentional?
• cheshire is only being used by datahike.cli, but without it the docs don't have a chance to be built successfully; this can be solved by restructuring the project
• clojurescript: I am with you on that topic, I am also for removing the dependency
