I'm happy to hear that others are willing to step up to the plate in regards to continuing Anthony's legacy.
I started a thread specifically about tentacles a month ago here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/clojure/tentacles%7Csort:relevance/clojure/15x_LWE2IMM/CGULJTXLBQAJ We, at CircleCI, have built our entire business around the use of tentacles, so seeing this library succeed is paramount to our success. Right now, we're on an older version of tentacles and we're currently working to upgrade to the latest so we can begin to maintain a fork; or at the very least, help others in maintaining a "de facto fork".
