I saw clojure mentioned on LtU and put it in my "to read soon"
bookmarks (which I never get around). Then at JAOO 2008, I heard Guy
Steele and I think also Kirk Pepperdine mention the language (just as
a side remark), and I decided it was time to look again ;-)
After seeing Rich's presentation vi
I saw one of the first public presentations of Clojure, at LispNYC. I
remember thinking at the time, "Yes, this is a Lisp that makes
sense." I was pretty surprised when my blog post hit Reddit, and
frankly even more surprised that the language attracted adherents so
quickly. I mean, it's *Lisp*

I can't tell you how underwhelmed I was when Arc was announced.
Conversely, for each moment I spend with Clojure I am inspired by its
genius. I'm convinced that Clojure is the Arc that everyone was hoping
for.
Thanks for you hard work and dedication, Rich.

Congratulations, Rich! I have very bright hopes for Clojure's future. It
came at the right time. I know there were/are lots of other people thinking
about how Lisp could be reinvented. I had thought a lot about what I would
want, and lo and behold nearly all of it is in Clojure.

Would anyone else like to see something along the lines of an idioms/
style guide?
The closest I've seen to this is the wiki examples.

Thank you Rich for all the work you have put into Clojure. I am using
this language ever since I heard of it in December last year. And it
really is a joy to use. I have no doubts that Clojure's second year
will be as good as the first one if not better.
Cheers,
Toralf

Thanks for a great language, Rich. Here's to broad acceptance!

Congratulations Rich!
I remember when Clojure was first announced (it doesn't feel like a
year ago!) it was like a breath of fresh air! It was during a time
when I was trying learn Lisp as a newbie and finding it hard to focus
on learning the language because I couldn't settle for a particular

Congrats Rich and HBD Clojure!
I'm getting back into Clojure for scripting and am loving it. The
sequence functions work great on strings and are fabulous for simple
text manipulation without invoking the heavy hammer of the regex
engine. It's a nice puzzle to make my brain work that way again

A year ago today I 'released' Clojure, by sending a message to my jFli
and Foil mailing lists. It got blogged, picked up by Planet Lisp and
redditted in the course of a day or so, and has been a wild ride ever
since. I couldn't have possibly imagined the year Clojure (and I) have
had.
