As a non-participating viewer from afar, Clojure community seems to have less hipster, less emotional, less roller-coaster, but more mature feeling when it comes to software development.

I wonder if the average age of clojure hackers is higher? I'm not in the Clojure community but it appeals to me (in my forties) coz... well... Lisp! Brings back fond memories of when I shared an office with the dude who did the Common Lisp implementation for Poplog.

The folk I know who are into Clojure are all in their 30s-40s.... but it's probably just sampling bias.

If the Clojure folks are in the 30s and 40s that'll be awesome: a community for older software programmers (with a few dads or even grandpas in between).

We are not going to get any younger so I very much welcomed the existence of such community.
