The tools (e.g. Archiva, Nexus et al), documentation, IDE support, integration with other languages e.g. mixed Java/Clojure/Scala/Groovy projects. The more clojure integrates with the existing ecosystem, the more likely it is to succeed, especially in a viral sense. This is the essence of clojure being a JVM language with great integration with Java. Personally I wish that leiningen effort was instead put towards polyglot maven http://polyglot.sonatype.org/ Antony Blakey ------------- CTO, Linkuistics Pty Ltd Ph: 0438 840 787 Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else. -- J.
