Results of 2014 State of Clojure and ClojureScript Survey by Alex Miller.
From the post:
The 2014 State of Clojure and ClojureScript Survey was open from Oct. 8-17th. The State of Clojure survey (which was applicable to all users of Clojure, ClojureScript, and ClojureCLR) had 1339 respondents. The more targeted State of ClojureScript survey had 642 respondents.

Are you up for studying and emulating building church membership techniques? (as appropriate or adapted)
