The C language is extremely well-documented. It's still helpful to see other people's C code to understand common/useful patterns.

I don't know. I saw tutorials mixing clj -A, -X and -M flags, but what's the difference between them? When do I use each? What's the -r flag do and how do I use it? How do I update my dependencies? How do I build a jar and deploy it?

It just always felt like I was running into things that felt basic and the docs didn't have an answer for them. I would see so many elaborate deps.edn files in people's configs and when I tried to look up how they worked I couldn't find anything.

That depends how you define your build targets (called aliases) in deps.edn. And there is also -T to call (public) functions in a namespace (file/program), e.g. when using build.clj - that's for building your jar.

-X calls a function that you can define using :exec-fn, :exec-args has it's arguments (usually a map) -M calls the main function ('executes a program', if you will), it's 'normal' (command-line) arguments are passed using :main-opts

And btw. `clj` is just a wrapper around `clojure` that runs `clojure` in rlwrap. No need to use this if you do not use the REPL.

Here is a (big) template I've just finished yesterday: deps.edn: https://github.com/Release-Candidate/Clojure-Template/blob/m...

and it's usage: https://github.com/Release-Candidate/Clojure-Template#build-...

build.clj - build a jar and run mkdocs https://github.com/Release-Candidate/Clojure-Template/blob/m...
