Thanks for the reply, I mostly want to get out of the way my main reason for writing the shout out. I think the language is a nod to the future of lisp and possibly one of the greatest lisps around with wondrous support. I want the language to succeed. Because of that I wanted to point to the issue that solely focusing on java programmers actively puts a cap on the clojure userbase. While there are some who have the time to go out and learn java basics and APIs first, there are a lot like me who want to use clojure but don't have the time to learn both separately. If there isn't documentation to help those that have to learn the java APIs with clojure instead of separately there will constantly be a self imposed limit to the clojure appeal. Just wanted to give you guys some feedback from a non java programmer.
