Comment on: Wiki for Pet Projects with Clojure and Polylith

I've never used Polylith, nor do I honestly quite grok it entirely. But it seems unnecessary in a personal project?It adds a bunch of abstractions on top of Clojure which seem to be mostly useful for enforcing rules when working with a teamWith bare Clojure you can just have a monorepo of different mini-libraries and use `:local/root` to hook things up. It seems much simpler that way. You can have a different "applications" point at each other through deps.edn.Would love to be corrected though :)
