Rich, Thanks for the feedback and righting some things for me. Can you speak to the -?> and -?>> macros, specifically if you think nil should be handled differently, or if these macros code find a new home in core?
That said, I'd happily pitch in and help maintain a handful of the contrib libs for the community. I'll take it upon myself to get my CA in, acquire any accounts I need, and work with Stuart Sierra to get all the support and setup I need. So community, aside from monads, what contrib libs are top picks?
