tl;dr: Rich is no longer accepting donations from individuals, but businesses (and presumably not-for-profits as well?) are still encouraged to contribute to the development effort.

There are a bunch of corporate sponsors of Clojure, and the list continues to grow: http://clojure.org/funders

FWIW, Snowtide was the first announced corporate sponsor of Clojure in the 2010 drive, and we'll be renewing that sponsorship for 2011 (I just need to dig myself out of the stuff that accumulated over the past 2 weeks first!).




A 14 line article is too long to read?


You'd be surprised by how many people read only comments unless/until they're motivated to read TFA. shrug


Many articles have been making it to the main page that aren't really worth reading. To avoid those I scan the comments first and then read the article.

Scanning the comments also gives me some additional background on topics I may not be familiar with.


In this case wc is not that different though:

  summary:   3      80     512
  original:  3     123     761
EDIT: format.


As long as they don't comment before reading the article, it's fine.
