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?

    lein just works and stable but deps and tools is newer and the usage within the community is about 50/50.

    I fear the new development of plugins etc may not happen for lein

      In my limited experience, writing leingen plugins was annoying. I don’t miss those days.

        That was why we switched from Leiningen to Boot in 2015.

        And then we switched from Boot to CLI/deps.edn in 2018 and jumped on tools.build as soon as it appeared.
