Are they merged? Or something else?

well right now it only supports a single file, so that's not an issue

if I can think of a performant way of searching the classpath for other files, then (once defined what's in scope (`user.autoload.*`?)) I'd probably just load them in alphabetical order

I don't think merely saying "all user.clj files will be loaded!" is possible because AFAIK clojure just loads an arbitrary one, so there's no guarantee it would be mine

so the whole approach assumes that the rest of your user files are named something different

(note that ~/.clojure/user.clj would not, in general, be on the classpath)

What does the library do then? I'm a bit confused!

I thought this was a new version of ./util

oh no, not at all

I see... So this is an alternative to having an alias in your own ~/.clojure/deps.edn pointing at a dir?

yes, especially because doing it that way means you need an absolute path

so there seems to be no way to make it relative to $HOME
