Certainly. I'm not saying this is how the exact syntax would go, but the general idea is to rely on the keywords to specify what (and how) you want to import stuff: Instead of: (ns one.fresh-server (:use (core matrix math bs)) You could do something like: (ns one.fresh-server [core :refer-all [matrix math bs]]) By having a single syntax (vectors), it becomes really simple to learn how to use the new "ns" (or "ns-include", w/e) declaration. (doc ns) would need to spend almost no time on syntax, and just explain the various possible keywords. I think this might also make it a lot simpler for editors and IDEs to integrate with Clojure. Summary: - Just one syntax to know: vectors - Keyword options handle everything else Cheers! - Greg -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.
