Totally awesome, thanks to everyone.

I don't like the way github presents the changes.txt file, so I forked a
copy and did a teeny bit of markup tweaking so it will display in nice
touchy-feely HTML layout, if anyone is interested.

Cheers.

Thanks, Mark.

This IS easier to read.

I've submitted some patches there to recode changes.txt to Markdown a
week or two ago. I updated it last night for f0b092b66 "more
changes.txt tweaks"

We took Clojure 1.3 into production today, along with a lot more
Clojure code compared to our previous production release. We've
converted all of our profile publishing and searching code to Clojure
now (from Scala and CFML respectively) and we're liking the initial
results we're seeing (improved stability and performance).

Great work folks - thank you!

Sean,

That is great to hear. So happy to see someone use a lot of clojure in
production. Congrats on the release.

cheers,
Bruce

Thanx. You can get a lot done with just a little Clojure. We stand at
1,829 lines of production Clojure code and 448 lines of unit tests so
far (and a lot of non-Clojure code - but that is slowly migrating to
Clojure as we do any substantial work on the backend of our system).

Hi Sean,

Intrigued by your statement that:

Can you tell me why Clojure scored over Scala for you. Or was the code a
mish-mash of Scala + CFML and that Clojure is just better than the
combination?

Thanks,

For my Scala / Clojure anecdote, see:

http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/b18f9006c...

We like CFML for View templating and Controllers but we expect to
migrate most of our Model to Clojure over time...
