Some interesting nuggets:
"what was your primary development language" -> Python+JS+Ruby are each smaller than Java, but together the dynamic languages are a noticeably bigger source of Clojure adopters than Java expats.
26% of respondents reported they are "Creating/maintaining open source libraries", vs 70% reported they're using Clojure primarily for work. Good number but would have been interesting to know how many for-work users publish OS libs.
Of domains, "Math/data analysis" users are 18% and "Big data" 12%.. that's together ~30%.
ClojureScript is used quite a lot to target non-browser environments. Node, React Native, AWS Lambda, Electron all have a lot of usage.
Error messages are the favourite area of improvement. It seems the rework in Clojure 1.10 to generate spec-based syntax error messages wasn't the cure that was hoped.
