Rich Hickey is frequently quoted as saying:
You can reach a point with Lisp where, between the conceptual simplicity, the large libraries, and the customization of macros, you are able to write only code that matters. And, once there, you are able to achieve a very high degree of focus, such as you would when playing Go, or playing a musical instrument, or meditating. And then, as with those activities, there can be a feeling of elation that accompanies that mental state of focus.
A list of commonly asked questions, design decisions, reasons why Clojure is the way it is as they were answered directly by Rich (even when from many years ago, those answers are pretty much valid today!). Feel free to point friends and colleagues here next time they ask (again). Answers are pasted verbatim (I've made small adjustments for readibility, but never changed a sentence) from mailing lists, articles, chats.
How to use:
Following the tradition from last year, here's my complete list of all interesting features and updates I could find in Apple's OSes, SDKs and developer tools that were announced at this year's WWDC. This is based on the keynotes, the "What's New In ..." presentations and some others, Apple's release notes, and blog posts and tweets that I came across in the last few weeks.
If for some reason you haven't watched the talks yet, I really recommend watching at least the "State of the Union" and the "What's New In" intros for the platforms you're interested in. The unofficial WWDC Mac app is great way to download the videos and keep track of what you've already watched.
If you're interested, here are my WWDC 2015 notes (might be useful if you're planning to drop support for iOS 8 now and start using some iOS 9 APIs).
In the process of evaluating the suitability of SFSafariViewController
(SFSVC) for use within the Twitter iOS client, I encountered a number of bugs
with differing severities, all of which I filed as Radars in Apple's bug
reporting tool. Here is my attempt to holistically document their impact on our
ability to adopt SFSafariViewController as a replacement for our existing
WebViews.
The fundamental blocker is Radar

| # You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax, | |
| # it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build | |
| # programs. | |
