There’s no data from previous years to compare this to, but whatever the curve of growth of Leiningen, technomancy & co. deserve a ton of credit for shaving the yaks and herding the cats to build it up into what it has become today. People’s everyday Clojure experience is greatly enhanced by the get-out-of-the-way approach taken by Leiningen, and I think we’re all better off for it. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Phil Hagelberg (a.k.a technomancy and a fellow HN'er) has done (along with many others) has done a great job of providing a great stack to start working with Clojure. From emacs-starter-kit to clojure-mode to smooth integration with leiningen, all Clojure enthusiasts and developers alike save so much in yak-shaving. Someday perhaps I will get a chance to say thank you in person, but allow me to start here - Great job guys, and thank you!
