35MB in version v0.3.4 vs 25.1MB in version v0.3.3.1

In the latest version v0.3.4 we added ~10MB to the .jar, I believe it was too much, especially for removing the pedestal, it's worth understanding what made the .jar increase so much.

@avelino Take a look at this article: https://robjohnson.dev/posts/thin-clj-jars/

If we focus on the hypothesis that this might be happening because of the dependencies, we could generate the dependencies jar separately, and the actual moclojer jar standalone.

But how would that affect end users? Would they be able to use our library jar out of the box? i.e. do they need to compile the dependencies on their own, or is there a good outcome, like clojure automatically loading the dependencies from deps.edn. This should be tested thoroughly.
