My apologies; I don't mean to insult. Thanks for the reply. My point is that it says something about what the core team thinks is important. Glad to hear that the team has been accepting doc PR's for years now.

I think we're arguing at cross-purposes. Certainly Clojure is a productive environment. But I'm interested in community-focused projects. These projects often have less corporate adoption than projects like Clojure. I was disappointed with Clojure, but not because it lacked a company championing it (it has one), not because it lacked corporate adoption (it doesn't), and not because there's anything in particular wrong with the language (I think it's an excellent language) -- by those metrics Clojure is certainly successful.
I'm amazed when people complain that they can't get their boss on board with introducing Clojure into their enterprise Java project. That appears to me to be exactly the market Clojure is targeting and succeeding in, when employed there.
