Split the project and don't make it require all of the dependencies to run #111

Open LouisCAD opened 3 years ago

jmfayard commented 1 year ago

There is a disagreement of the initial number of dependencies that should be included

Why?

LouisCAD points out that the initial download/scanning of dependencies can be very slow
Me point out that it's very convenient to try any library directly once the initial download is done

I think we are both right

WHAT? Use the fork luke

I suggest to simply use forks

https://github.com/jmfayard/kotlin-libraries-playground will be my repo with batteries included, like the current repo
https://github.com/LouisCAD/kotlin-libraries-playground is then free to be trimmed down to whatever you feel is the right minimal set of dependencies
Another dev who does something different, like data science, can just make her own fork with a different set of libraries she uses all the time

What if people want to use both?

Then simply define two git remotes
