The Elixir ecosystem is quite good for this. I've found smaller libraries that haven't been update in a long time but still work just fine since Elixir itself hardly ever changes in a breaking way (the recurring phrase in the community being: "There will probably never be a version 2"). It's weird to get used to at first but it's actually quite refreshing.
- OkayPhysicist 4y agoI used an Erlang library in my Elixir project a while back that hadn't had an update in a decade. If a language's semantics don't change (and they really, really shouldn't change without either A) a very good reason or B) a really, really good backwards compatibility story) then there's really no reason for a library that does a job well to ever update.
