Dependency Heaven
summary
Clojure moves dependency management out of build tools by introducing tools.deps alpha plus a tiny clj launcher and installer that bootstraps a user-level deps.edn via maven resolver. It resolves transitive deps, fails on conflicts, downloads artifacts and produces a library map (requested lib → chosen coordinate → disk path) and a cached classpath generator. Much of it exists and works today for REPL-driven and 1.9 bootstrap use, with git and directory providers planned.
