Long options with '=' are not parsed

[bnii]

It seems the long-form command-line options don't work in the --option=value way, only as --option value.

Thanks for this tool!

Perhaps we should just use clojure.tools.cli which will enable this. @dotemacs perhaps you are interested in looking at this?

[Александар Симић]

Thanks for the honourable mention :) but I'm more of a fan of the short command line options.

Let me think on it.

Thanks

I don't necessarily think we should support this unless there is some strong push from the community.

I agree with this.

I don't necessarily think we should support this

you mean it would be just a marginal improvement or it is actually not right for some reason?

[Michiel Borkent]

Marginal improvement. Personally I've never felt the need for this.

Babashka CLI now support parsing this style of invocation:

We could try to switch to that (and hope nothing else breaks).
