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?

Repository was relocated to codeberg. Leiningen is still pretty much alive
Okay that is somewhat reassuring.
So, where do most folks get support? On Slack, deps.edn questions are answered quickly, whereas lein questions tend to linger. I got stuck trying to get git deps to work, and it’s hard to ignore that many Clojure projects on GitHub have moved away from lein. It’s left me wondering if I am falling behind with the modern Clojure ecosystem
To be honest, I have no idea. Leiningen has a IRC channel, but I’m not sure it’s the right place to ask for support
Cool! Now can we get a proper transitive deps so there is no more reason to not rely on lein long term? 😅
Can you be a bit more specific about what “transitive deps” are supported by Leiningen but not tools.deps?
Do you mean BOM support in POMs? Vote on that here: https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/10892/add-support-for-bom-bill-of-materials-dependencies – there’s already a JIRA ticket and some initial work done.
