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?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.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...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.
