How is Clojure for dotNet? I haven't touched Clojure in general for years (honestly I think it's been at least a decade) but I remember a lot of libraries making calls expecting the Java standard library so seems like things would have broken, but maybe it is gotten a lot better in recent years.

It's been kept up to parity but a complete rewrite is currently under way - watch https://dmiller.github.io/clojure-clr-next/
I thought about doing some work on Clojure itself, but, alas, my last name isn't Miller. :-(

The Clojure development process is notoriously closed to outsiders.

Even in the early years, some people contributed time and code, and weren’t thanked. I would view attempts to contribute as very high risk for newcomers.

I personally maintained a fork for a couple years just for an unmerged patch I needed, rather than try to get the core team to merge it.

I think you may have missed the 'jk' (just kidding) at the end of my post.
