This is definitely worth putting money into. Building these kinds of tools is so key to user adoption and yet it is such difficult and (hopefully not in this case) thankless work. Even if you aren't a CCW user, there are plenty of potential workplaces for you that might consider clojure in as much as it fits into their current workflow (ie eclipse).
Not to be a jerk, but you don't have to go anywhere.
That said it makes me sad that open source authors should be relegated to begging for handouts like this.
Those who wrote 'closed, commercial programs' for a living probably won't shed tears over it but I can see that if you have to go and ask for handouts after giving the world a chunk of your life that it feels a little weird.
It was an attempt (from a non-native english speaker, so maybe the literal translation from french did not have the same exact meaning) to feel like "There's a sense of urgency for me to go there, I can feel, I know this will be good, for me, for the project" => the "have to go" has since been replaced / complemented by an explanation on the page.
Maybe you should give your actual reasons why you need to go there, what you intend to accomplish?
On another note, you may wish to consider hooking up with a corporate sponsor, I'm sure there is someone out there that sees enough value in what you provide for who $1500 is pocket change.
Hi, Laurent. I don't use CCW much, though I do have it installed. Mostly I hack Clojure in Emacs.
Nevertheless, I sent a few bucks your way because I think it's a great thing to be able to introduce Java developers to Clojure via Eclipse. Your work helps to build the community, and I appreciate it for that reason.
