I'm still confused about the state of Clojure CLR. I initially thought it was the "OG Clojure" before Rich dumped CLR and went for JVM instead. Is it maintained properly and kept up to date with Clojure proper?

(I used to be in the "Clojure is not Lisp" camp, but I've grown up at some point.)

David Miller been doing a tremendous job of keeping it up to date. Latest commit was 2 days ago.

Somehow there's not much overlapping interest there - dotnet folks aren't very much interested in Lisps. Lispers don't care much about dotnet.

My understanding is that the Clojure community points everyone to Arcadia[0] since it's maintained and a bit more public about what their exact goals are. Unfortunately, neither are terribly well documented and so I've not personally used either
