Piotr requested some ns changes to an old, archived library of Zach's, primitive-math. They wanted to deprecate the top-level namespace and move code into a multi-segmented ns, as top-level namespaces cause some issues with using GraalVM in clj-easy's graal-build-time.

If we're going to make a change, I'd like to bring primitive-math under the clj-commons umbrella, if that's ok.

If Zach is happy to migrate primitive math, we should also take a look at removing this line:

I was doing some work on Java build stuff a while ago (can't remember if it was with Graal or jdeps) and having an old class file version caused issues. Sorry I can't remember the specifics, it wasn't a blocker for anything, but I think it might have prevented some optimisations.

Yeah, absolutely happy to migrate it over.

On a related note, it's been suggested that this repo I created when I worked at Factual could be transferred over, as well: clj-commons/durable-queue#23. I would expect exceedingly few changes to this repo over time, currently the only outstanding work are some new type-hints to better work with Java 13, but since I can't currently deploy new releases under the Factual org, it needs to be forked/transferred somewhere to make those small changes.

primitive-math has been transferred over.
