Except if the public api of foo lib is only functions, which is the case for all clojure libs i've worked with. EDIT: Ha, i just stumbled on this old yegge article, which is quite appropriate i think. With clojure APIs you think in verbs, so nouns are not that important http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/03/execution-in-kingdom-of-nouns.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/03/execution-in-kingdom... EDIT2 : perfect quote : "In the remotest regions, beyond the Functional Kingdoms, lies a fabled realm called Lambda the Ultimate. In this place it is said that there are no nouns at all, only verbs!" here you go ;)
