This release feels like it had a very different scope from previous releases, contains a lot of stuff, which is exciting to see! But I hope it doesn't end up like a hairball a few releases down from increase of pace or something.
- eduction 2y agoPure speculation but I believe this is the first release since Rich Hickey left nubank so could be more attention from him.
- simongray 2y agoThey've also hired Michael Fogus to work on Clojure, so more resources are definitely being put into developing the language.

- diggan 2y ago> Rich Hickey and the rest of the Clojure Team are very careful designers. I wouldn't worry too much I am aware of this, which is why I suppose previous releases haven't included as many features at once as this one. It's this possible change of pace that raised the question in me :)
- tvaughan 2y agoAdd to which, a lot of "new, big features" come in libraries, not the core language itself.
- diggan 2y agoBut my point is specifically about the features mentioned in this very release, which are all in the built-in clojure namespaces. Or did I miss something from the release notes? In fact, the separate libraries have their own release process and isn't part of this release at all, as things should be. So not sure what you're referring to here exactly?
