thanks. That sounds like a great answer, too. I thought about the
precedent Java started, but they also put the parentheses in the wrong
place, right :) ? And pretty it may be, but think about the free metaphor
you get by making it slashes. You are inviting beginners into the language

thank you for that nice explanation. It gets to the motivation ... the
problem . . . the solution.
So (to test my understanding), "use" makes symbols in another namespace part
of your namespace (adding them to your map). Then when others 'deal'
(require or use) your namespace, that stuff you 'us

third: are there nested namespaces? I still don't really understand how to
organize a project . . .best practices (and why they are the best practices)
. . . whether or not there is actually any hard in having each lib just be
one file.
Thanks.

second: since the namespace is used in code with slashes, why was it decided
that it should have dots in the declaration/introduction? That's just
confusing as far as I can tell. It's probably way too late to debate
something like that, but maybe there's an "ah hah" reason.

why there are two different keywords, "use" and "require". Just look at the

two keywords and let "only" be a modifier when you want only certain th

Hi
I don't really get namespaces, and, yes, I looked at
http://clojure.org/namespaces
. . . but was lost at "interned" (thinking about this more, I think I
know what it means ... perhaps a link to a definition would work). Is
it like C++ where it doesn't matter what subdirectory a file is in ..
