i have recently been excited about clojure, but your behavior and responses of other clojure people in this topic has honestly put me off of it. i understand that things are difficult and cljure people apparently work very hard, but the tone and attitude being used is in stark contrast to what i have seen from communities like those of F# and racket. whether you're right or not, it doesn't seem to be a great approach. for people like me, this is a first taste of clojure.

just a heads up.
