You’re right. What makes this project interesting is the idea and the design, not Go, yet it would be much harder to get this publicity through that. And that’s exactly what I’m saying: why should people upvote just because of the language?

People can be interested in the link for two different reasons, now. Some people want to see a new editor; some people want to see the source code.

I have a search set up that emails me daily about Clojure topics on HN. I'd be very interested to see new editors written in Clojure, and not very interested in using the editors themselves.

Setting up email alerts for Clojure stories sounds useful. Can you describe how you do that? I couldn't find a way to set up alerts, either using hn.algolia.com or using Google Alerts.

You should give a try to http://hnwatcher.com, it's an alerting tool based on the HN Search API. I personally follow the "algolia" keyword -> it helped me get your question mentioning "hn.algolia.com". Enjoy ;)

This or IFTTT are the two methods I've used.

Both work well.

Thanks! I'll try hnwatcher.com for now. I emailed the creators because I didn't get a confirmation email yet, but it looks like what I was looking for.

This is the by-product of organizing ourselves by what tools we use, rather than what problem domain we immerse ourselves in.

Tools are a means to an end. Attaching anything more to them is silly.

I think you mean "it sucks that we do that" and i agree. It seems to me this is an eternal problem with our large communities. With internet everything is a large community ;)
