Code Organization: Classes vs Namespaces

Code Organization: Classes vs Namespaces for Java engineers moving Clojure into production, with migration trade-offs, review checkpoints, and JVM context kept explicit.

Code Organization: Classes vs Namespaces frames the migration decisions Java teams need to make before changing production code. The emphasis is on practical trade-offs: what existing JVM experience still applies, what object-oriented habits should be replaced, and how to review the resulting Clojure design.

Use the child lessons as checkpoints for planning, implementation, and team review rather than as isolated definitions.
