A comment on Clojure 1.11 planning.

Spec is very useful, but please implement it without macros. Metosin did a great job to make it more usable, but we still struggle because specs could only exist in Namespaces. We want to use spec as EDN with pure functions. (+ recursive specs would be awesome)

Spec 2 can be used without touching any macros if desired and has a lot more programmatic options.

For schemas as EDN you might want to take a look at malli:
