Cake and Leningen are going to merge for the Leningen 2.0 release.
From the post by Justin Balthrop:
Please join the Leiningen mailing list if you haven’t already (http://groups.google.com/group/leiningen) and join us in #leiningen on irc.freenode.com too. Phil also set up a wiki page for brainstorming version 2.0 changes (https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/wiki/VersionTwo).
As I told those of you I talked to at the Conj, I feel really positive about this transition. For those of us who have contributed to Cake, it means our contributions will have a bigger impact and user base than they previously did. I’m also really excited to be working with Phil. He’s done a terrific job on Leiningen, and he has an amazing ability to organize and motivate open-source contributors.
One more note: I’m planning to rename the Cake mailing list to Flatland as I did for the IRC channel (#cake.clj -> #flatland). Feel free to unsubscribe if you aren’t interested in http://flatland.org open source projects, but we’d love for you to stay 😉
Must be nice to have a small enough body of highly motivated people to make this sort of merger work.
Will be a nice advantage for Clojure programmers in general. And for those wanting to take a functional approach to topic map engines.
