I'm not convinced about allowing wildcard imports. Same reason that we discourage use without :only for.
About discoverability: I'd take a look at the autocompletion code for swank-clojure, lein repl, et. al. Maybe there is a contrib in there? About your static/dynamic remark: In static langs there is a clear distinction between the compile class path and runtime class path. That way, you can't introduce new names by running with an upgraded library. So while wildcard imports are still suboptimal, they are not as volatile as in most dynamic langs. You can protect against that in clojure too by AOT compiling. That said, package imports with :as clauses, as in your example, wouldn't even pose this problem. With (import '[com.package :as pkg]), Symbols using the pkg namespace alias could be resolved to their classes without walking the classpath. That feature might actually be quite nice. I like how one can do that in clojurescript. kind regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
