My opinion: no need to create problems when there already are accepted solutions.
In the java world, there are conventions for naming things. Stick with them. -> You want to fly under the radar in your enterprise with jars full of clojure sources ? Don't get catched because your lib risks a clash or will not work because some IT people established a strict java security policy concerning the packages from which a class loader is allowed to get bytecode -> You want to provide a library to the external world, publish it on maven/clojar/ivy/whatever repository where one more zillion libraries will also be available, written in java, in clojure, in groovy, in scala ? Protect your namespace by following the same conventions as most of the other people. Not every wheel is interesting/good to reinvent. Especially when there are still others soo much interesting, deserving your attention :-) :-) But concerning the initial concern of the OP: there seems not to be a consensus in the clojure community ... yet ! :-) 2010/7/8 Meikel Brandmeyer <m...@kotka.de> > Hi, > > Am 08.07.2010 um 18:52 schrieb Mike Meyer: > > > People seem to be confused by the Java namespace convention deriving > > names from DNS.
