Description
Better error messages are needed for circular dependencies in the ‘cljd’ namespace. The current error message doesn’t provide enough information to locate the problem.
(ns app.a
(:require
["dart:core" :refer [print]]
["package:flutter/material.dart" :as m]
[app.b]
[cljd.flutter :as f]))
A and B namespaces have mutual references
(ns app.b
(:require
["dart:core" :refer [print]]
["package:flutter/material.dart" :as m]
[app.a]
[cljd.flutter :as f]))
then cljd exit with
Compiling to Dart... @06:46
app.main
Execution error (StackOverflowError) at cljd.compiler/host-load-input (compiler.cljc:4059).
null

Research direction
Reproduce the mutual app.a and app.b namespace references using the example and inspect cljd.compiler/host-load-input at compiler.cljc:4059. Trace where the StackOverflowError is reported and make the failure identify the circular namespaces instead. Done means the provided example produces an actionable circular-dependency error rather than a null report.
