From Twitter: Maybe we have to face it: Clojure has nothing to offer web programming that is better enough to make people switch to Clojure

So many times this! Aside from Emacs story, from which I could get productive in minutes using Cursive, I couldn’t get happier with the Clojure FullStack experience.

Also, c’mon Rust docs is something to keep an eye into, Clojure could benefit so much from a cleaner awesome one too.

Also I’d like to add here https://clojurecademy.com has the fundamentals to be the Learn RUST.
Add parinfer for begginers and some more Docs/Cheatsheet integration to the delightful beginner welcome.

We have the tools, we have the learning, heck even purelyfunctional.tv could be added.

IMO the fundamental step is, WE NEED A CLOJURE.ORG REDESIGN TO BRING EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
We must link everything Clojurians Slack, Clojureverse board, Reddit board etc etc.
And c’mmon, the site looks from 1997, and nothing is quite pleasent or vibrant.

Tom and Rich Hickey please, let the community overhaul it.

(Clojure Academy REPL working with instructions on the side, quite awesome for new commers)
