Sorry to hear that. And that kind of code damage sounds pretty typical from most projects I've seen in open source and heard about through people I've talked to, no matter what language these projects use. It must just be that we all learn the hard way and usually during work hours what works and what doesn't. In cases like this, Clojure can help somewhat by its saner defaults, but I've seen some really terrible Clojure code too, that has many of the same problems.
