> If your mindset is, “I need to be on the latest hot thing” that’s about you, not Clojure. You’re allowed to keep building your projects using any of those tools, they still have the same capabilities.
Beware here: it might sound natural to you, but many (and I many _many_) people are working on stacks where "there has been no update to this lib for 6 months" means "the project is discontinuated and has been replaced by something else, it's a waste of time."
So, it might be worth adapting the messaging.
For example, there is an awesome-clojure page with a kitchen sink of every possible libs, some of which are dead, and some of which might not be.
Is there a "boring-clojure" page, where, sure, not everything is awesome, but you can be confident that using this lib and that tool and that IDE is going to, basically, "just work" for the foreseenable future ?
I can't talk about the life cycle of clojure libraries, but i have seen common lisp libraries that haven't been updated for almost 10 years that work perfectly. There is little the maintainer needed to fix.
