That's actually far more of a stumbling block than the classpath. In my experience, very few languages/environments tie directory structure and language identifiers (class name in Java, namespace in Clojure) together as closely as the Java/JVM environment. As in, if you change the filename, you have to change the namespace declaration as well - and vice versa. Or Clojure can't find your code, and you have no idea why :-( And yet, there's no reference that I can see to this fact in any of the Clojure tutorials. Not even in "Programming Clojure" (which is generally a great book). I could have missed something, of course - I wasn't looking for the information - but I've hit the issue a couple of times, so I suspect if I had seen anything, I would have remembered.
