One of the most common questions I get about Specter is whether it will 
ever become part of Clojure core. I think it's an interesting proposal and 
would like to see what the community and core team thinks.

The primary reason for contributing would be that Specter makes Clojure a 
stronger language. For a language that embraces simplicity, I've always 
viewed the complexity of dealing with nested data structures a glaring 
weakness of Clojure. The existing stuff in Clojure, like clojure.walk, 
zippers, update-in, etc., just doesn't cut it. This problem is very common, 
and Specter completely solves it with near-optimal performance.

The main thing that makes me hesitate to suggest this is getting 
bottlenecked on Clojure's dev process. However, Specter is very well 
developed at this point so it doesn't need to move fast anymore.

Please share your thoughts.
