Maybe, but learning a new language by contributing to a large project built in that language is asking for trouble. Programming languages aren’t just syntax and stdlib. The relevant idioms and patterns may be significantly different. Even making small changes can be hard and intimidating. And then, even if you wanted to learn something new, to a lot of people, it matters what that something is. Unless the person is really set on contributing to Storm specifically, then the barrier of Clojure is still significant. They may prefer to spend their new language learning bandwidth on something with more momentum.
