1) "use" and "require" differ in that use does what require does, loads a library, but it also refers to the symbols in that lib in the current namespace. So essentially if you want to use clojure.contrib.def/defvar, if you (require 'clojure.contrib.def), you would have to say (clojure.contrib.def/defvar ...), whereas if you did (use 'clojure.contrib.def), you could then do (defvar ...)
2) dots separate portions of a namespace. they are the same as how dots separate java packages. Slashes separate the namespace and the symbol name when you refer to symbols. they are not included in the name of a namespace (and can't be). 3) yes namespaces can be nested. that's the purpose of the dots, to separate levels of nesting. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
