to clojure-clr

With Google+ shutting down, with it goes one (greatly underused in recent times) channel of communication.

I've gotten suggestions to open a replacement.

In fact, one of our G+ participants, Ivan Serdyuk, has created a Slack workspace and a gitter community (which already has 39 people on it).

I've also just noticed that there is a clr channel on the Clojurians Slack workspace.

I have no preconceived notions of what might work best. Or that we need anything more than this group.

I will add that I have some ideas for major upgrades of the compiler and looking at tooling and hope to have the guidance (and sweat equity?) of users of ClojureCLR.

Some way to organize those discussions would be great. I could see continuing to use this group as the primary location for general questions and another channel for the design work.

Looking for guidance.

I'd not like to get spread too thin.

(When clojurians were looking at what to do, they had a poll that included all of: Slack, Discord, IRC, Zulip, Balboa, Gitter, Matrix/Riot, Braid Chat, Mattermost, Rocket Chat, Mailing List. I must admit to not knowing most of these. Also, later people suggesting closing the slack channel because the mailing list had diminished so much.)
