This isn't meant to be anything more then an interesting observation.
This isn't meant to be anything more then an interesting observation.
(It should be pointed out that I have plenty of strong opinions I'm more than happy to tell to anyone who will listen, but when it comes to Clojure, I want to hear from Nathan Marz, James Reeves, Stuart Sierra &c, and seriously doubt I have much to add.)
I also suspect that, given how often Clojure posts pop up and hang out on the main page, despite their relative number of comments, the interest is strong here.
I think that it betrays the issue. If people are struggling to get started with the language, then that means that no one is bothering to use it beyond 4Clojure and basic koans.
The fact that there is up-voting and about one Clojure article on the front page every week shows that there is a strong interest in the language, but until the maintainers figure out how to make the language accessible, there won't be much commentary because very few people are knowledgeable enough to say A or B about it.
