Clojure certainly seems one of the darling languages on HN (along with Haskell, Rust, Go). The thing that _I'm_ noticing all of a sudden is the uptick in articles on category theory -- which, similarly, I was only made aware of about 3 weeks ago.

Is there a graphical representation somewhere of buzzwords appearing on HN over time? If not -> hack-a-thon project.

I was feeling that too, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of paying attention from having an interest. I notice the same thing when I move to a new city: I move to San Francisco and it seems like everyone's talking about SF in my reading; I move to Boston and it's the same thing.

A big clojure conference happened last week (http://clojurewest.org/). That's probably spurring a lot of conversation.
