Wow this is such a great idea for funding. But I wonder if this would work with other language communities because the Clojure community, from my understanding, tends to concentrate around the same tools. Anyone know of any other language communities with similar foundations?

I'd say relative to it's size the Clojure community is quite diverse in it's tooling and library ecosystem, compared to say, Ruby. Because of the dispersion of projects and interest, we survey our members quarterly and pick projects based on the survey results.

> tends to concentrate around the same tools It's pretty easy to point out the huge players in most ecosystems I feel like. Can't think of any languages that are a counterexample. That's not necessarily a bad thing - lots of mind share helps systems get better on the average. I think Clojure has less in the way of ecosystem-dominating frameworks than is usual as far as web frameworks go. Clojure is pretty unique in that the ecosystem is very much not one-size-fits-all. http://www.luminusweb.net/ http://www.luminusweb.net/ is a great example of the clojure philosophy of bundling together a variety of uncoupled components to get a great dev experience. It even has a variety of CLI init options to swap out different components for your preference (https://github.com/luminus-framework/luminus-template https://github.com/luminus-framework/luminus-template)

I wish Rust Together was a thing, and for that to result in better HTTP/2 server and client support in Rust.

  Good news! We don't need a Rust Together for this: Boyant is sponsoring all that work. An initial version shipped a month ago: https://crates.io/crates/h2 https://crates.io/crates/h2

    Oh, nice!
