I’ve been using Datomic these days, but the official documentation isn’t helping a lot: broken links, outdated information, no sense of narrative. If I weren’t a beginner, I’d be tempted to create an unofficial site and give some love to the material. In fact, I’m already tempted, despite being a beginner!

Sadly, the problem goes beyond the content and beyond Datomic.

I can totally imagine a Clojure-curious human skimming through the official sites and feeling that the “Clojure is dead” cliché is actually true. The UIs look so dated or are just plain hideous, and the copy is so unpolished…

Clojure is amazing and has the most wonderful people working on it and with it. We in the know may not need it to also look good—but I fear many potential newcomers do, and we’re scaring them away.
