That is cool also! For a long time I was experimenting a lot with both Clojure and Scala, but then I took a gig with a Clojure shop earlier this year. Scala is still on my short list of languages I would use for my own projects (as is Racket Scheme, BTW).

Just curious, as you seem to imply that Clojure is no longer on that list. If this is the case, why not?

No, I like Clojure - but as a platform, it needs some time to get everything right. I think some patience is required, let the Clojure platform developers keep up their very good work.

Same day as CouchDB 1.0, too.

I'm using Clojure and CouchDB together, so it's kind of neat seeing all this happen on the same day!

Yeah, except Clojure is more awesome :-p

Sorry about that, I'm not usually a thread hijacker.

Q: is the plan to have point releases (1.2.1) to roll up e.g. stuff from prim, num, equal branches?

I'm pretty sure that's something planned for 1.3

Clojure has never really had a point release before, so who knows.
