I'm not from the software engineers field, but how difficult is it for some non-lisp, but java-savvy software writer to pick up a 600-line clojure program and learn to understand it? I mean, everyone in this forum managed to learn clojure to some degree without too much trouble.. including me. If there is a function the poor software engineer doesn't know about, there is excellent documentation available (unlike, for example for K, where your documentation is the source code in Q), there's this google group, and there is irc.
I am a scientist, and I seem to manage fine. Someone who programs for a living should be able to fix a program that is broken in whatever language relatively easy.
