Hey guys, I'm a founder of CircleCI. Happy to answer any questions, or check us out and give me feedback!

I saw on your blog post that you use clojure - could you give an overview of your technology stack and how clojure fits into it?

Hey, I'm the other founder at Circle.

So the entire backend is clojure. For the devops stuff, we use pallet [1], a clojure library similar to puppet or chef, and stevedore, a clojure DSL for writing bash. We actually have zero bash in the source tree!

The web UI is a fat javascript client using knockout and HAMLcoffee, so the web server only serves a JSON API, all HTML rendering is done client-side.
