Especially given this: (ns dda.main (:gen-class))
(def should-exist "Do I exist?") (defn -main [] (prn (str should-exist \space (ns-name *ns*)))) The (def) is evaluated, since should-exist is found when -main is called from the generated class, but why isn't (ns) evaluated? Which should have changed *ns* to "dda.main".
