My initial attempts at finding an article failed, so I didn't list one

I personally believe that Overtone is a worthwhile project.
Whilst I totally want to see more projects that help us at least maintain and
ideally improve the harmony of the world, I also value projects that dare to
take us in new directions.

This makes me wonder about the number of Clojure-driven projects that

the world is better off with you having tried.”
I never understood
I have done several things in my life where, at least, I am sure that
the world would not have been better off if I hadn't tried. I think this
is enough to hope for.

The books are simply an artifact and technology is only one domain.

Being acquired by Monsanto does not invalidate The Climate Corporation's
work, which I find extremely exciting and valuable. In fact, why would
their work be worthwhile by your worthiness definition? They are just
insurance sellers, after all.
Clojure itself is the ultimate worthwhile project.
Why is a programming language---which one would think is in itself neutral,
being a tool that can be put to a variety of uses---more obviously
worthwhile (let alone the ultimate worthwhile thing!) than sellers of
insurance, who, after all, do, if they're honest, insulate people from what

Suggestions of endeavors using clojure for something worthwhile itself
seems like an entirely worthwhile discussion if people can resist the
temptation to debate what worthwhile means and to disagree with other
people's concept of worthwhile. For example, here's a recipe for a useful
discussion:

I found Doug Selph's talk at Clojure/conj to be quite inspiring, in
that he is clearly (IMHO) doing something that is of great potential
