Description

It could be good to have a guide on using direct linking which:

  • Shows an example of how to set it up in a Leiningen and Boot application
  • Shows in a REPL/code session how var indirection is removed with direct linking on
  • Explains where you are likely to need ^:dynamic and ^:redef
  • Shows an example of code that gets speed improvements from direct linking with benchmarks
  • Which code direct linking applies to (just your code, or all your dependencies too?)
  • How to distribute direct linked libraries
  • Any tradeoffs or other reasons why you wouldn't want to use direct linking
