A) Congratulations to the BackType team! I wonder if they're the first Clojure-heavy startup to be acquired. It will be interesting to see what happens to their technology stack after a couple of years.

B) Does this impact the open-sourcing of Storm?



Flightcaster is even earlier. FC might have been the first.


Oh you're right - I totally forgot about Flightcaster's acquisition!


Velocitude got acquired too by Akamai.


Storm will be rewritten in scala


Do you really know that or are your just guessing?


We're going to continue using Clojure just like before.


Your blog has been one of my favorite reads for a while now. Please keep it up!
