Should be only a momentary lapse. The poor thing is only on an m1.small. :-)

#6Myself personally, I didn't find it that surprising that there were a lot of people interested in web work. I think it's self-selection; people in the web industry are far more amenable to trying new (also read as: unproven) technologies or languages.
But at the same time, everyone knows Java's got some really good infrastructural libraries for web work. Since nearly everyone in the web sphere works in some sort of dynamic language, it's unsurprising they'd try Clojure when it'd split the difference between Java's somewhat-famous libraries and a pure dynamic-typed language like Clojure.

#73% of "I remember when #clojure had 6 people in it" => 200 persons answered this survey.

#8I think the most compelling data here is the languages people came from: Java, Ruby, Python. And the languages they'd go to Scala, Haskell, Erlang et al.
Clojure as a gateway drug on the JVM for functional programming. Cool stuff.

Gateway drug? With all due respect to Haskell, it's FP heroin.

Not sure how you get that. Check out the original data; 13 people responded "I remember when #clojure had 6 people in it" (which seems exactly right, taking timezones into account).
