I've seen recommendations around not to use single-segment namespaces [1]. What exactly is a single-segment namespace and why should I avoid using them in my projects?
My guess is that a single-segment namespace is one that's completely flat instead of hierarchical, as if I were to put my source in src/ foo.clj instead of src/foo/core.clj and declare the namespaces accordingly. If so, maybe there is some reason relating to interop or code sharing why this is avoided? I really like the simplicity of src/ foo.clj so please help me understand why it's a bad idea (if it is at all!). This is my first post to the group. I hope this question is welcome and not too terribly redundant or annoying. (I did try searching for the answer but couldn't find an explanation.) Thanks, Evan [1] For example, from http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md: "The src/myproject/core.clj file corresponds to the myproject.core namespace. Note that we use that instead of just myproject since single-segment namespaces are discouraged in Clojure." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
