A great read! What I really appreciate, beside all the technical stuff, is the effort to create a positive and helpful community around Clojure. From the paper: "When I first was learning Common Lisp I was appalled at the tolerance on Usenet comp.lang.lispof arrogance, hostility, intimidation and other anti-social behavior of the presumed ‘smartest guys in the room’. I was determined (a) that the Clojure community would not be hosted there and (b) that kind of behavior would not be tolerated. Early on, on IRC and the mailing list, I established and required a tone of supportiveness, positivity and respect."
