When I collected numbers for my 2014 Clojure/West talk (a year ago), I found there were about 10k people on the main Clojure mailing list and about 10k people combined across all Clojure meetup groups (iirc). So my estimate is that that is a min bar on size of the community. The yearly State of Clojure survey has reported about 50% of users using Clojure-only and 50% using Clojure+ClojureScript for the last several years running so I'm inclined to take that as the best estimates we have. -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
