hi. small question that came up at clj-kondo and I wonder how joker thinks about it:
if you write 'foo/bar or
`foo/bar
(quote foo/bar)
foo in either case, although joker counts foo as used in the case of the syntax-quote

In the case of protocol metadata, there is something you're implementing though. And maybe you are expecting something else to use it.

@dominicm were you responding to my question? can you give an example - what do you think the behavior should be?
dominicm 2019-05-27T20:50:56.005300Z
I was, yeah 🙂 Don't have a strong opinion, just weighing in that:
(with-meta obj {`foo/bar (fn [this] …)})
foo/bar is used, but it isn't directly called by my library (necessarily).dominicm 2019-05-27T20:51:24.005700Z
oh, I guess this is about unused-require vs unused-ns? Is there an unused-ns?
borkdude 2019-05-27T20:56:54.006100Z
unused-require I mean yes
borkdude 2019-05-27T21:10:49.007600Z
maybe syntax-quote is a good to choice to count the namespace as used, e.g. in writing macros, you’ll often want to load the namespaces, even if you’re only generating code that will use those namespaces and you’re not using them at macro definition time
borkdude 2019-05-27T21:16:19.008100Z
so from that angle, joker’s behavior makes total sense
dominicm 2019-05-27T21:58:30.009Z
The ' makes no sense though, the require has nothing to do with that
