I would rather see a Green Screen of Death as-a-service. It would take your video, or web cam, and fill the background with some scary or apocalyptic scene.

This looks like it occupies the same space as core.contracts and core.typed. Is the main benefit, over those two, cljs support?

I use to hold stories like these as an example of a broken internal process, because someone outside your company had to tell the world about their problems with you, instead of just fixing it by telling you. Now, it just feels normal. Perh
