Congratulations, Rich! I have very bright hopes for Clojure's future. It came at the right time. I know there were/are lots of other people thinking about how Lisp could be reinvented. I had thought a lot about what I would want, and lo and behold nearly all of it is in Clojure.
Also when you look at Arc, you see how much more sensible it was to build on and embrace the JVM ecosystem. We get the best of both worlds: a cool new language to play with, and no "library problem." One of the things that I have always thought was crucial to creating a new Lisp (or any language really) is a Benevolent Dictator. I like the fact that you have a strong vision, and although you are very open to suggestions, you are also not afraid to say "no." And the community is very courteous and helpful. Amazing! Now if only I could find a job where I could work with Clojure full-time... I guess I'll just have to sneak it in like others have done.
