Have you looked at autodoc? It's responsible for generating stuff like this:

Direct links to source code, table of contents containing links to all
the functions...

I'll leave that to others. World Singles has a small team. The project
is ongoing. I started working with Clojure in early 2010 and
introduced it at work probably about a year ago as an option for our
JVM-based mixed-language codebase. Our first Clojure code went to
production in June or July and we're very happy with how things are
going.

A lot of working production software has been built with Lisps over
the years (but I understand your concerns about the "novelty" of
Clojure, in terms of age). The list of Clojure "success stories" has a
broad range of companies but I'll concede a lot of them are
startup-style organizations who are a lot less risk-averse than many
corporations:
