I'm new to all this, too. The kinds of teams I've worked on, generally, favor breaking down a problem into separate processes such that we each get to work on our own apps which communicate via messaging or http, so I may not have quite the experience you have with big "shared-code" libraries (

I see. So namespaces are helpful here. What other team practices do you use? E.g. what do you use for effective documentation? With Java you can easily find all helpful operations that can be used to manipulate a type. How do you make sure developers find all relevant functions in Clojure and d

Hi. I'm new to Clojure, and enjoy using it very much. It's been years since I learned Scheme back in college, and it's a pleasure going back to lisp. I do, however, have a question regarding real-world Clojure use in large teams. While I clearly understand the pros of common data access/manipul
