Thanks so much for maintaining this project, Alan. It has been instrumental 
to my journey learning Clojure. I work for Roam Research, and our founder, 
Conor White-Sullivan, is also a huge fan. We would love to talk to you 
further about the future of 4clojure. Please email me back if you're 
interested.

Cheers,

Bardia
