summary

A brisk, specific chronicle of Clojure’s first decade: 2005 first commit notes an early 21,000‑LOC peak then a 12,000‑line zip release; initial language has 129 symbols and 582 lines of core, by Clojure 1.0 (2009) it hits ~450 vars and then grows into the 600s. Concrete milestones: regex literal syntax added, ClojureScript launches (2011), reader conditionals, reducers, transducers, direct linking and socket REPL appear, and the ecosystem of libraries scales steadily.
