I think Chris mentioned recently there's no short way how to get namespace of a keyword. Maybe I'm misinterpreting him but if not then there's the the namespace function:

(namespace :ahoj/key)
;;=> "ahoj"

neumann17:10:01

Sounds like I wasn't totally clear. I was trying to say, there isn't a short way to get a string for a keyword that includes the namespace.

neumann17:10:26

When I want :foo/bar to become "foo/bar".

neumann17:10:54

The best way I've found thus far is:

user=> (subs (str :foo/bar) 1)
"foo/bar"

neumann17:10:26

Because:

user=> (str :foo/bar)
":foo/bar"

jrwdunham12:10:27

(->> :foo/bar ((juxt namespace (constantly \/) name)) (apply str))

jrwdunham12:10:49

because baroque

neumann15:10:15

@UCSDH9JQ7 That's fun! And yes, baroque. 🙂

Its a great article, but longish, yes. Many resources given.
