No commits on GitHub since 2022, the slack channel is dead silent, and it seems everyone here recommends deps.edn. Is Leiningen worth using in 2023 or should I jump ship?

    We should stop repeating this line - it is simpler but not easier… or similar variant. It is becoming extremely cringe.

    Whenever there’s some criticism we paste this line

      It’s core to Clojure’s design principles tho’. If you think it’s “cringe” then maybe Clojure isn’t for you? Seriously, the mantra of Clojure’s design is small, simple pieces, composed together. Easy = familiar. Leiningen is “easy” because it’s like build tools in other languages. Clojure CLI / deps.edn is simple because it’s designed specifically for composition. It’s a really important distinction.
