Clojure Gazette

Hi Clojuristas,

I have been fairly busy with one thing or another for the past few weeks. One of the advantages of being so busy is finally getting to go through all of the tabs I had opened but never had a chance to read. So much great stuff!

I normally like to say something profound, or at least point to evidence of Clojure's growth. But it's just growing steadily, as far as I can tell. It's kind of boring to say that, but it's a good sign.

Rock on!
Eric Normand
