It's possible we could make use of Java's module system if it ever actually gets released in Java 9. While I followed it pretty extensively when they first started discussing it (7 or 8 years ago!) I have not been keeping up on it lately. Some people have used OSGi with Clojure but I don't gather that it's a picnic. Designing a good module system, especially one that takes into account Java's classloader architecture, is a challenging task.
Personally, I think it's probably useful to think about your namespace layout, so I'm not really looking to get rid of the thinking part. :) On Thursday, April 2, 2015 at 6:05:25 AM UTC-5, Lars Andersen wrote: > > I'd love a module system solving the following problems: > > 1.
