I have been solving Clojure problems now for many months and can no longer exactly be considered a Clojure NOOB, but I still have an awful lot to learn about Clojure. One thing that has caused difficulties from the beginning is that I don't know Java and don't know how to exploit the Java eco-structure -- and thus I can't figure out how to use all the inter-op potential, and I have a hard time interpreting Java-oriented error messages.

For example, on doing a particular load-file I get this very useful error message:

java.lang.Exception: Unmatched delimiter: ] (source-file:323)


But my error messages are more likely to look like this:

java.lang.Exception: Unsupported binding form: (quote symb) (NO_SOURCE_FILE:5045)


Where does the 5045 come from and what does it mean? Is there some way I could manage and load my defn files, or manage my evaluations of defn expressions in the REPL, so that such error messages would always give me a useful line number like the 323 in the first example?

Thanks for your help.
