To Fluid Dynamics: I attempted to send this privately to the email address a2093...@trbvm.com, but got a permanent failure to deliver. Hence the open letter.
I understand that some things do not work as you wish them to, and I understand that one can be frustrated or shocked by the state of libraries that you find confusing or broken, but there are other ways to express this that can be less inflammatory. For example, instead of "Jeez. Who made this mess?" one might say "That's an unfortunate state of affairs. Do you know how it got this way, or whether there are existing Clojure libraries that smooth some of this over for the developer?"
