The "core" contribs are basically language extensions that don't need to be shipped in the Clojure jar. In some case, they're better off being on their own because then their release cycles are independent from the core language. The other prefixes are used when it makes sense to use something more specific. For example, the "java" prefix is for libraries that wrap existing Java libraries, "tools" is for libraries for Clojure tooling, and "data" is for working with various data formats and structures.

What's the difference between these and the other contrib libs (ex. java.jdbc or tools.reader)? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
