Currently, user.clj is loaded automatically during Clojure boot (in RT static init). I think this is done as a convenience for repl usage, since other apps could easily include a 'load' 'require' or 'use' of whatever is needed. I am proposing that auto-loading of user.clj be removed. A command line option for loading user.clj could be added for repl usage.
The motivation for this change is that user.clj may contain defmethods for print-method or other multifns that are undesirable for certain applications (defmethod in one namespace can change a multifn in another namespace regardless of use or require specs). I know I can avoid the problem by either not having a user.clj, or not having defmethods in user.clj, but it seems more straightforward to have a command-line option rather than have such restrictions. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
