Make initialization step explicit #8

Closed metasoarous closed 3 months ago

metasoarous commented 2 years ago

Both @qazwsxpawel and I feel somewhat icky about the use of side-effecting namespaces, like clojuratica.init, so I'm wondering if we shouldn't just have the call to init! be an explicit part of the api that gets called before you can start using Clojuratica?

This issue is somewhat related to #7, since it bears on where we locate these pieces.

Impl. notes

Make it trivial to extend / override the built-in "aliases" (such as * -> Times)

WDYT @light-matters ? This would make sense to me as well.
