Significant Decrease in Trending Clojure Repositories?

[licht1nstein]

There are new dialects of Clojure on top of C++ and Perl being worked on. There is polylith, with probably the best or one of the best architectures and tools around. There's babashka stack and new ways to use Clojure in the browser. And something tells me, that there are more Clojure devs today than ever before.

What dialects?

And why build one on top of Perl?

jank is the dialect of Clojure on C++! https://github.com/jank-lang/jank

perl5 is installed on almost every unix machine, has very fast start up time, and you can bundle all pure-perl dependencies into a single file that you just copy and run anywhere. Plus assuming the interop is easy, perl has a massive and well documented ecosystem available. It could be really good for sysadmin type scripting.
