It's that in some cases I have an answer to the question, but it's not one of the options; all of the options presume that we're doing certain sorts of things, which are common in business. Someone doing data manipulation and analysis for scientific research may be doing a lot of coding that doesn't leave one or two machines. Likewise for scientific simulations. These uses may not be part an ongoing process--they're not used to run a business, or a website, or anything like that. You write something, do a lot with it, then move on to something else. Or come back and modify it for a related research project. Clojure's a great language for that sort of thing. I'd be happy to go through the survey and suggest a few things to add or change if that would be helpful. Lee's suggested additional questions seem worthwhile, too. I agree that some thought would have to be put into formulating them. > > > > What question would be useful to add re use in academia? > > I'd personally be interested in knowing how many people are using Clojure > for computer science courses, and which ones.
