Typically, each .clj file will have its own namespace. Clojure uses the namespace to find where the corresponding .clj file is on the classpath. > Also, while we are at it, what are the naming conventions? > The same as in Java packages? > So I would use: "no.terjedahl.some.namespace.here" ? Some people use this convention, but the majority of Clojure libraries tend to use the following convention: library-name.some.namespaces For instance, here are some namespaces for the Ring library: ring.middleware.params ring.util.response You can use namespaces of only one part, such as "lancet", but this will result in class-files without a package. As I understand it, this is generally discouraged, so in the cases where a library only needs one namespace part, a ".core" is usually appended, e.g. "clout.core". I don't think there are any official recommendations, but these are the conventions used by many Clojure libraries, and build tools like Leiningen. - James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
