If Rich quit working on Clojure for whatever reason, it would be a huge blow to the potential future of Clojure. That is, Clojure is not yet done, and I don't know of anyone with the focus, drive, and design sensibility needed to take it to where it could be, other than Rich. However, I do think the community already has sufficient knowledge and experience to fix Clojure bugs as they turn up and perhaps even make modest incremental improvements. The code (the complete history even) is widely distributed, so there's essentially no risk of losing anything important there. The docs, name, and website might have some stewardship issues, but nothing that can't be solved with transparency and goodwill, I would expect. The thought of everyone trying to get all this organized is quite daunting, but people would manage. So I think you shouldn't let it trouble you too much. In other words: Don't worry. Be happy now.
