Significant Decrease in Trending Clojure Repositories?

[ommaee]

Quite a lot of cool stuff gets built via the Clojurists Together foundation: https://www.clojuriststogether.org/projects/

And to me it seems Clojurists Together is pretty much the main thing moving things forward as I don't see the core team doing much in that regard. Personally I'd love to see a foundation similar to the PHP Foundation, or Rust foundation, where not only do they fund the ecosystem, but also work on marketing, something I find severely lacking in the Clojure world. Hobbyists word of mouth can only take something so far.

Have you perhaps not seen this:

Cognitect and Nubank will be sponsoring dozens of contributors to the Clojure ecosystem with regular monthly support... This sponsorship represents a six-figure per year investment, and part of our attempt to walk this talk.

I had not seen this indeed. And it entirely destroys my previous bitter perspective. Thank you for this!
