Wow, congrats! I have to say that for only being two, Clojure has made
a helluva stir as an up and comer. I think it's the most exciting
language in serious development right now, and I'm thrilled to be a
part of this community. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work!

Congrats. I hadn't heard of clojure until the 1.0 release. So for me,
the amount of
progress and how it's taking off in the past few month has been amazing.

There are two manning books coming out I believe. One by Amit and the other
by, I don't know who. I reviewed 2 clojure book proposals for manning and
was told both were green lighted. But I haven't heard any more than that.
Hoping to get on the beta for both.

I asked my contact at Manning about the two books and got the following response: ---------- Thanks for checking in! Both books are currently underway. Rathore is writing "Clojure in Action", and Chris Houser has officially joined Michael Fogus in writing "Idiomatic Clojure" (tentative title). ----------
The more the merrier I say! Amazing for a language so young and maybe the most number of Lisp like books released by major publishers in such a short span of time.
Because most materials on Clojure are only at introduction level, I
think a "Clojure Cookbook" which provides solutions to many many small
real world problems would definitely be a best seller.
For most programming languages, I only need 2 books: an introduction
one and a cookbook one.

Just chiming in a bit late -- just wanted to say that Clojure has
really been saving my butt these last three long days. My customer has
a codebase which is written in a language without any sort of fancy
REPL. I'm able to tap into that system and have Clojure draw out the
info, so I can manipulate it in real-time through the REPL.
What's been very helpful is clojure.zip and clojure.set; I needed to
correlate data which came from a DB and an XML file -- and it was
immediately obvious that clojure.set/join and clojure.set/rename could
do it in 4 sparse lines. (Because it was natural to work with
sequences of maps.)
(Later, I'll have to reflect on that a bit -- maybe I'm just a neuron
away from using something like Datalog.)
Happy (belated) birthday,
Tayssir
PS: Programming Clojure is a very engrossing read too; I could read it
at the gym... at least when I had my hands free.

<cough> And had I actually read the docs, I'd have realized there was
no need for set/rename...
A friend called me in August, he needed a quick integration software to
generate data to feed
two slave factories to get id cards and passports printed and wrap a
bunch of tools
to get consequent biometric data to be burned in chips in both
documents.
Presently tests are being done and it looks good. I showed some Clojure
stuff to people
out there and some where really interested in it.
Not two bad for a two years anniversary :)))
Clojure is definitively versatile...
