Thanks @tensor, I really appreciate your response. To be frank, I had some doubts whether tutorial on such a niche (relatively speaking) language will be of interest to Untopian audience. Glad I'm not alone in thinking clojure is under-appreciated.

Programming in Clojure. Part 1: Why clojure
Its funny, when I started programming, I started with C/C++ mainly, but then I worked with Common Lisp and Scheme over the years (I still primarily use Emacs). When Clojure came out I was ecstatic and I honestly thought that this time, it would break into the mainstream (Lisp that is) especially with ClojureScript and what it offers. Even though it didn't really do that, I still find that having learned and worked with various Lisps just makes me a much better developer. I make it a point to tell all of my students and co-workers that they should learn Clojure or Scheme if they really want to master programming.
In a roundabout way, I am saying that your tutorials are necessary even if there isn't a huge audience. If even one or two JavaScript devotees decides to learn Clojure from your tutorials, then they will most likely, end up becoming better programmers.
