Clojurians Log v2

I’ll try different tones, perhaps something a bit darker 🙂

But in all seriousness, yeah, I bet the main problem is all the dependencies/requires

That’s what you were referring to, right?

Sheer size.

Yeah *times and sheer size. I had a 1kloc namespace on a project, that I found the day I decided to investigate reload times

Dayum!

Did you manage to shave real time off?

Hm, that sounded like a lot, but actually there are probably a few ns’es like that on this project. I think they’re trunks though, not leaves, in the require-graphs.

In my case it was essentially a utility namespace. There wasn't a win quick enough relative to the time I had left on the project so I left it. No point breaking things for people!

Sounds like the right choice. I find that usually, util namespaces are not that difficult to break up into smaller namespaces, so performing the refactoring itself is not that costly or error fraught; however, if the depending ns’es end up requiring most of the util ns’es anyway, the performance gain might not even be palpable.
