Hi, I am a Clojure committer and I just closed http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1013 http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1013. Even though this issue is not a bug, explaining why is not entirely trivial. I have already spent 15 minutes on it, and have not yet found the best place to update the docs so that developers wanting to consume Clojure from Java find the information they need. If you have a chance, could you please take care of updating the docs? Thanks in advance! Let's make Clojure great together.

Hey, I don't actually know Clojure beyond basics and several intros showing the overall framework of the language, its paradigms and generic philosophy (I don't count that as knowing a language). I'd love to help but as it is, the original article convinced me that I shouldn't. As a commercial project maintainer myself I am all too well familiar with how many things one can miss if he doesn't write everything down and constantly manage information -- that's why I have a huge private Trello board. I am not gonna scorn fellow extremely busy devs. But I will point out that as language maintainers your responsibility is bigger than mine. You should do your best. If I ever decide to become an active Clojure user I definitely won't be only criticizing. I'll do my best to help!

  Since this is getting downvoted, let me clarify: It's my opinion that I don't have to be a Clojure expert with 5 years of experience in order to be able to recognize patterns in the language implementation and the way the ecosystem is governed, and eventually deduct I wouldn't want to associate with them for the time being.
