Yes, thanks Mark. It seems to me that you are saying "namespaces make poor maps". Stipulated. So why not use records or maps?
I think that where my experience differs from yours is summarized in your comment "In Clojure, a project often begins with a bunch of functions sharing some immutable state or "magic constants" stored in vars." I *never* do that. If there are a group of related things, I put them in an associative container (maybe just a map) on day one. The analogy with OO is misleading here. If you started an OO project putting everything in static/singleton members, you would have the same pain you attribute to Clojure's namespaces. I find this to be a "my car doesn't have wings" argument, and the kind of thing that leads into casually complecting everything with everything else.
