Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers cite this post, which argues against using version ranges, in a thread on Clojure dependencies. One commenter links it to explain why explicit version numbers are expected.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
You can, but this is discouraged. Unlike in other version management systems, Clojure tools do not use lockfiles; you're expected to be explicit about the version numbers you want. https://nelsonmorris.net/2012/07/31/do-not-use-version-range...
