Your way of educating people about Clojure isn't particularly helpful. Don't make sure that people miss out a really good language, instead take this opportunity to share [personal experiences or impressive writeups about] how awe

I can't find any official statements about this renaming (there's a BigBreak branch which is supposed to take care of renaming as per a thread reply on the forum[1]) but I assume that people have been citing the name as a barrier
