Clojure has a dirty little secret

Can you give me one for a programming language? Where I’ve hung out for Rust, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, Go, Python, Ruby, Scala, Haskell, Kotlin, I never saw a core member available to answer questions/issues directly and have a back and forth conversation about it in chat.

To me that kind of access is a big plus, so I’d be interested in a language that had that, granted the language is already production ready and stable.

I don’t see much value in a fork personally, or the subset of Clojure you describe. At least for myself and my use of the language.
