HN is a Lisp friendly place and many fluffy Lisp related things make it to the front page on HN, not just Clojure (and this article is not nearly as fluffy as some of the things that make it :) But I agree, it would be nice if people submitting Clojure articles would submit meatier stuff. Same could be said of the recent Node.js HN contingent. On a related note, one thing I've noticed is that the Node.js troupe seems to flag negative Node.js content - this kind of cargo-cult is a bad sign of where things are going on HN IMO.

Agreed on both counts. I truly love Clojure (and I use your Enlive tutorial any time I need a refresher) but if it's nothing new why does it need a hojillion upvotes. I'll be curious to see what the effect of pg's changes are on such issues, if anything. I do wonder if seperating saved stories from upvotes might help, since some people may see clojure and use upvote to flag it for later reading.
