It's a project that allows the Clojure guys to monetize their work. Go ahead HN Lisp lovers, kill my karma!

Does Postgres have an equivalent Connect By feature? Last I checked it didn't. If you don't need to scale your hierarchical data much, its pretty handy. I'd prefer to go to Postgres too.

Do a search on twitter for whoshere. What a P.R. nightmare. If they cared about protecting a brand name they should have chosen something more original than 'Who's Here'.

It's useful to me. The amount of words doesn't equal the quality of the content. When my dad asks if he thinks he should buy some Facebook stock, I can tell him the IPO was more about allowing insiders to sell their stock than raise capita
