Funding Clojure 2010
Is Clojure used for any particularly interesting tasks in which it results in a massive improvement in performance, efficiency, or TCO?  Is there any specific community of users who are doing commercially-applicable stuff with Clojure?<p>I don't know a lot about Clojure, but if it is gaining a following for some sort of commercial application, it would make sense to start "The Clojure Company" and sell support contracts, training, etc.; if this is the case there's no reason this guy should be asking for handouts (he should be raising funding!).  But again, hoping people from the Clojure community can enlighten me.<p>I am sure some large Silicon Valley company could hire him to add to their pet collection, but that'd be totally boring, especially if Clojure has real commercial applications...<p>Edit: I should note -- if there aren't any specific domains in which Clojure is either necessary or an improvement, it may just be a nice curiosity (like most programming languages), and the author is making a wise decision; again, I know very little.
