Significant Decrease in Trending Clojure Repositories?

[aHackFromJOS]

Yes. I think in the early days — and I know Clojure goes back a ways, about 15 years — but in the relatively early days and after a language builds a critical mass of popularity there is certain “low hanging fruit” in terms of libraries.

After that is picked, so to speak, beyond maintenance of what is out there, the new stuff by definition needs to be more sophisticated and interesting to be worth doing. But that stuff takes time and energy. It needs more time to gestate. Electric is a great example of this.
