This just means you can't create user/+. What you can do is redefine clojure.core/+. user=> (def clojure.core/+ -) java.lang.Exception: Can't create defs outside of current ns (NO_SOURCE_FILE:1) user=> (in-ns 'clojure.core) #<Namespace clojure.core> clojure.core=> (def + -) #'clojure.core/+ clojure.core=> (in-ns 'user) #<Namespace user> user=> (+ 3 1) 2 I'm sure this is something you should avoid, especially given the other solutions.
