    About 7/21 people at the meetup were new to Clojure (including me). That said, the talk on how Clojure 1.1 has changed was not applicable to us. The Leiningen talk was fine. I know that I am interested in finding out about the kinds of problems that Clojure solves that are difficult in other languages. But for a first meetup, it was ok.

    Really good speakers. I'm going to try leiningen and pay more attention to 1.1 and 1.2 features. I thought the skill level assumed by both talks was intermediate, and that felt good to me.

    Great job Matthew, Gray, and Russ. Thanks for putting this together.
  • Seth Schroeder
    I was thrilled to hear people are getting paid to write Clojure code. People with serious interest were present and very friendly.
