"Since Clojure core libraries are already loaded, my example actually had to exclude the 'remove' causing a little bit of boilerplate."

I'm not too concerned about the verbosity when you need to exclude something. What clojure does seems fine.

I didn't realize that ns is like load, and not like PLT's module. It goes in the caller, not the callee. That's cool. But once I use:

  (ns arc.core) ; provides say find
Can I use all its declarations as just find and not arc.find?

If so that's pretty much what I want :)

I'm not sure if Clojure is doing this for me or leiningen.

https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen

As I started right off using it.

[edit: yeah lein is doing the load for me, but you can still just use load if you like. To run as a script Clojure uses 'java -cp ....', so your files need to be on your classpath location. It's been a long time, since I bothered with that way.]

> Can I use all its declarations as just find and not arc.find?

Yup (well, find is actually taken by clojure core, so you need to exclude it if you wanted your own version, but for everything else, which I believe was the intent of your question, you're golden).
