Description
https://clojure.org/guides/learn/namespaces and https://clojure.org/reference/namespaces have differently focused overviews of namespaces but leave out the linkage to how namespaces end up on the classpath (either via Clojure itself or your code or via libs). These should pages should connect those dots better.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the Learn namespaces guide and the namespaces reference page named in the issue, then trace how namespaces reach the classpath through Clojure, application code, and libraries. Done means both pages clearly connect namespace usage with those classpath sources.
