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?

Shameless plug of a recent tiny project that remedies precisely those points – incl. secure credentials handling for signing and deployment – without needing to touch pom.xml, write glue code or use multiple tools for the basics:
gnl/build.simple: tools.build’s missing piece – install, sign and deploy libraries easily and securely like with Leiningen
Ah, interesting! I see you’re shelling out to Maven for deployment?
Yup, seemed like the most straightforward solution. But other than installing it once and writing a basic
~/.m2/settings.xmlto point it to the environment for repo credentials, you should never have to think about it again.If all you need from Leiningen is build/install/deploy a library jar, build.simple should have you covered. I’m dogfooding it in my other recent project Playback – so far so good.
