Thanks, everybody. The buzz at Hacker News is that the Clojure community is awesome, and the buzz is right.
Now, to me, it follows from the advice you gave that I should do two projects: 1. Learn Clojure by implementing (some of) AIML (about half of the language is of no interest to me) 2. Implement what I prototyped in AIML (context, objects, processes) in Clojure Does this sound right?
