I've come across my share of unmaintained libraries in Clojure, but for anyone reading, lack of activity doesn't necessarily mean that a library is unmaintained.
In JS in particular, activity is often used as a proxy for the "maintainedness" of a library. I think this is because JS is (currently) a moving target.
Clojure is one of those languages where, occasionally, problems get solved and don't require any significant further development.
- BWStearns 8y agoWas about to say the same thing. It took a little while to get used to the idea that seeing `Last updated 2 years ago` didn't mean the library was dead. If I ask in the slack channel about a library I'll very often get a message back in a matter of minutes from the author confirming that it still works.
