Are there places where a newcomer to the Clojure project could help with this effort?

As a Californian I am never not ashamed to have Senator Feinstein representing me. Is there a "tech lobby"? If there is, why is its number one priority not fielding a decent primary challenger to oust this authoritarian disgrace t

My recommendation is always just to read Pro Git from cover to cover.

But why would you want to? As said before, somebody executing a script doesn't need to see what language it's in.

Is there a good explanation somewhere of protocol internals -- what it looks like in the JVM when a protocol member is called/what bytecode is generated from a protocol extension?

Curious, have you tried vim-fireplace? I'm enjoying it a lot, though I haven't tried lighttable.

What do you customarily edit code in? Clojure works quite nicely with both vim and emacs.
