# Boot as a library?
Some recent discussions with @thheller and others prompted me to investigate if Boot could
be used as a library with a separate tool to construct the initial classpath, say `clj`.
In my hypothetical thinking one should be able to do something like this:
```clojure
(ns boot.deploy
(:require [boot.core :as b]
[boot.tasks.built-in :as tasks]))
(defn -main []
(boot (pom ,,,)
(jar)
(push ,,,)))
```
And the run it using `clj` (provided one has boot dependencies in their `deps.edn`):
```
clj -m boot.deploy
```
### Known Problems
The above is all a bit further out but one thing I've tried already is this:
```bash
java -cp "$(clj -Spath)" boot.App repl
```
It gives you a REPL that can run basic Clojure stuff, e.g.
- `(def a 1)`
- `(+ a 2)`
- `(boot (with-pass-thru _ (println "test")))`
- `(require 'boot.pod)`
- `(count boot.pod/pods)` (yields '2' after repl start)
but fails with the slightly more complex (pod-using?) things I've tried:
- creating pods: `(boot.pod/make-pod {:dependencies [['bidi "2.1.3"]]})`
- running tasks: `(boot (pom :project 'a/b :version "1.2.3") (target))`
Most of these fail with some "Pop without matching push" exceptions (see below).
I assume those can somehow be traced back to the fact that there's — in
contrast to when `boot` is used — no `Boot.class` or
`boot.ParentClassLoader.class` on the classpath.
