https://clojureverse.org/t/roadmap-to-1-10/1581/8?u=alexmill... is a pretty good overview of where Clojure has been going and will continue to go.

> At least in the official docs, things should be cleaned up and made much more user friendly.

The source of clojure.org is at https://github.com/clojure/clojure-site/ and it gets a pretty constant stream of updates these days (it even accepts PRs!). It's a huge improvement over what it used to be -- so it depends on what/when you're comparing it to.

If you have specific criticisms or suggestions, I expect they'd be welcomed.

https://tech.redplanetlabs.com/2021/06/03/tour-of-our-250k-l... has some information about their "custom language". Previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27385208

It's ironic that this was posted as the same day as this --> http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=591897

Would be interesting to see how a version in Clojure compares.

> Is it really 100 percent compatible with Clojure or is that just aspirational.

Aspirational. The project is really early still, and in the middle of a grand rewrite so basically it doesn't build at the moment, see https://github.com/jeaye/jank/issues/7

Current progress seems to be outlined here: https://jank-lang.org/progress/
