Otherwise, newbies will come to the official page, think "neat-o!" or "huh, maybe I can use this", click "Try Clojure", get an error, shrug, and give up. Dead links to your so-called demonstration on your front page will be what they see, and they'll interpret it as either the site is defunct and succumbing to bit-rot or the whole thing is not yet ready for prime time. Too young or already dead but not yet embalmed and buried, one or the other. > and covering some very simple download'n'go approaches might also help. +1 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
