Clojure Core

Jan 15, 2021

Earlier today Rich Hickey let the cat out of the bag that I'm joining
the Clojure Core development team.

    We are excited to welcome @fogus, long-time Clojure contributor
    and co-author of Joy of Clojure, to the Clojure core team!

    -- Rich Hickey (@richhickey) January 15, 2021

This is a change from my previous relationship with the Clojure Core
team that in the past few years has been sporadic at best. This
circumstance arose through necessity rather than desire and so I'm
overjoyed to work closely with the team once again. Over the past few
years Alex Miller has exerted a Herculean effort in shepherding the
language through numerous versions and steady growth. I'm overjoyed
to be given the opportunity to join him in helping push the language
forward, and I'll do my very best to avoid breaking everything.

So what this means is that I'll be far more visible^1 in and around
the Clojure ecosystem while spending my time thinking about Clojure
more so than just using Clojure.^2

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. The range of online sources of Clojure-related chatter is quite
    daunting and my immediate goal is to establish some sort of tempo
    for interacting therein. -

 2. I'm certainly willing to help with both ClojureScript and
    Clojure-CLR, but those teams are rock solid and so my best move
    is probably just to stay out of the way. -

    I'm so happy to hear this! This is a big win for the Clojure
    community and it'll be great to see your contributions resume,
    not to mention the corresponding acceleration of Clojure core
    development.

    Congratulations!
