I have now been using Clojure as my primary programming language for almost exactly two years. Clojure 1.2 is nearing release. The Clojure community is larger than it ever has been, and shows no sign of slackening its growth.

It seems like now would be a good time to take stock of where the community is, how people came to use Clojure, and how it's being used in the world. To do that, I put together a quick, 9-question survey through Google Spreadsheets, embedded below.

Hopefully enough responses will come through that we'll be able to get a good picture of the current state of affairs, and maybe a little insight into where Clojure can and should make headway in the future.

The results from this survey [are now available], along with my oh-so-enlightened interpretations. Enjoy!

About Me

I'm the founder of Snowtide Informatics. We make DocuHarvest, a web application that turns your valuable documents into data, and PDFTextStream, a PDF text extraction library for Java and .NET. I do a lot of programming in Clojure and just a little in Java, trying to make it easier for people to make unstructured content just a little more useful.

FYI, I'm now doing all my writing over at http://cemerick.com, so go there for my new stuffs. I'll be migrating much of the content from here over there gradually/eventually.
