I think I'd be very useful since understanding Clojure's design philosophy is of great value, even outside the Clojure(Script) camp. But I also think it'd require work from a certain number of volunteers (sounds like a wiki would be a useful tool for this).
There has been some work in this area: - A suggestion<http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2013/06/03/three-book-ideas>from Michael Nygard for a book on "the Hickey/Halloway paradigm" - An unofficial guide<http://www.flyingmachinestudios.com/programming/the-unofficial-guide-to-rich-hickeys-brain/>to Rich Hickey's brain :) - The book "The Joy Of Clojure" from Chouser and Fogus (soon to be released the second edition) But certainly a syntesis of the philosophy and design of Clojure, with links to presentations, articles and code would be useful. What do you think?
