One of the best things I like about clojure actually is how it is currently keeping away new users.
It is probably the best thing for clojure right now, looking at the rapid changes that have been happening from 1.0 to 1.2, 1.2 to 1.3 .. Hickey has a clear vision for what he wants the language to be and it doesn't look like he has finished thinking about it yet. It is good that the community is still small and the tools are immature. When the language design is at a stable state then would be the time to start evangelizing.
I keep thinking about what happened with ruby .. it is such a beautiful language but the community grew too fast and it is now stuck with so many conventions that could have been better thought out.
