In Clojure, Is it idiomatically correct to use require ... as rather than use... in the ns macro

Question

I'm writing a clojure application which is growing from small to medium sized. We're currently importing modules using ``` (ns foo (:use bar)) (fn-in-bar) ``` but I think that switching to ``` (ns foo (:require [bar :as b])) (b/fn-in-bar) ``` would help with clarity and code comprehension. Is this a good way to do things? Is there a better way?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The second form is the prefered approach.
