I've never used defn-, ^:private, etc. But I rigorously prepend a prefix to
mark private things, e.g.
`-this-is-private-and-can-only-be-used-in-current-file`. From my
experience, it makes reading/maintaining code much easier, in any
programming language. I think I borrowed this convention from Python where
_ is used to mark private things.
This rule can also be applied in data structures: {:public-api-data ...
:-something-users-shouldnt-write-or-read ...}. This happens frequently when
writing controlled inputs in React where user is responsible for storing
the whole state of the UI control but at the same time it should be
prohibited to modify or depend on some "internal" state parts, e.g. {:text
"..." :-cursor-position {:x 123 :y 45}}.
In rare cases I also extract *.impl.* namespaces, in such case prefixing is
not needed but there are more folders, files and jumps between editor tabs.
