They should add an rss feed for PragPub only or email delivery with a newsletter (i keep forgetting to check for the new issue and i guess i'm not alone).

Wow, that's just in time. I was just starting to look into learning Clojure. Nice!

I've been using Clojure for a while, but I've seen a lot of stuff lately (even just old stuff that predates Clojure, which has been dug up and reposted here) that points to it striking something of a perfect balance. I think it's on the cusp of becoming really big, and I honestly hope that popularity doesn't ruin it.

I fear a "Rails moment", which would be the inflection point where some library or framework for doing X comes along and dooms Clojure to forever be "an X language" in peoples' minds. Of course Ruby is still a fine language... but Rails practically made the Ruby community into what it is today, for better or for worse.
