I've been reading/coding Clojure for nearly 2 years now, and this was the most helpful explanation of namespaces and require/refer/use. I will be rewatching it.

This was a really informative talk, thanks for making it available. I think I'm just in that spot: more than newbie and your talk was very clarifying.
