    I have been out of the loop for a while, but is this true?

    In 2023, there were an estimated 10,000 active projects being developed in Clojure worldwide

    🤯

    Major projects like Apache Cassandra and TensorFlow adopted Clojure for its straightforward syntax and functional programming advantages

    🤯

      It’s not clear what “adopts” means here. A quick search didn’t yield any news. I’d be curious how Cassandra and Tensorflow use clojure, specially.

        I don’t know about Cassandra, but I’m pretty sure that TensorFlow as it is does not have any need for Clojure, nor am I aware that they use it, at least not in any substantial way. Maybe someone added some wrapper around their Java support (which was half-assed back in the day, but that was many years ago), but I’d be surprised if that was part of the main project. Quick google search did not yield any results, FWIW.

      I didn’t find anything meaningful when I searched about he alleged adoption
