It's not as if *some* (cough cough) parts of Clojure were'nt opinionated, right? :-)
Having in the (ns) macro the possibility to use :use, to use :require, to use :refer-clojure, to use :require-macros can be daunting, and not only for newcomers! And not to mention that the vast majority of the docstring for ns talks about :gen-class defaults ! And all this choice for only historical reasons is not opinionated enough for my taste! I'd be willing too, to deprecate a couple things: :use :all in favor of :require :all :use :only in favor of :require :only Let's be opinionated! :-D I think that's the only subset that has a chance to pass without having to gather a commitee at the next Clojure-conj ;-) 2013/7/23 Softaddicts <lprefonta...@softaddicts.ca>: > None of what has been said so far makes me believe that our usage of > "use" is "bad".
