You can start your clojure with a namespace defined in init.clj or something similar, and as you change namespaces by loading or by other means library fetching is done automatically. One problem with this approach is versions. Maybe a namespace should refer to a library's API version instead of referring a "versionless" library. I'm not sure if that's really an improvement, though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
