What is "dependencies"? about drawing HOT 3 CLOSED

Ah, reading on I see we explain Dependencies further down. Probably still worth rewording the first mention of dependencies tho'?

I wonder if we can think up a less jargon-y way to explain Leiningen's :dependencies...?

On the subject of dependencies, we talk about adding a new dependency to project.clj and about :require but we don't mention that LightTable needs to have the connection disconnected and the code re-evaluated to cause that new dependency to be fetched if you modify project.clj.

For this first program, Quil is already in project.clj and we're not actually changing the :dependencies but if they create a new project and then add Quil, after working in LightTable, that might completely stump them.

I'm not sure whether adding a note about this inline would be distracting rather than helpful or whether this would be better as a "footnote" at the bottom of that page?

All excellent points, @seancorfield. Exactly the kind of stuff we need to look out for. I'll reread the whole thing with these in mind and see what I can do.
