"bad discoverability for the long list of core functions."
IMO it's this and discoverability of libraries for non-core functionality. The books for learning Clojure are all very good, but reading a book is a lot different than working down a tutorial.
Thanks, didn't know about that (the 4 books from Oreilly, Manning and Pragmatic are all terrific).
Another thing is if getclojure could get some pruning and discussion of corner/edge cases for each core function/macro/special forms (i.e. get some of the discussion from IRC of how/when to use the functions and maybe make it more hoogle-like)
