I think most Python, JS, Java etc libraries are "dead" in this sense that you lament about Clojure. The exceptions are the very recent languages. It's natural, most libs don't become popular and flourishing open source projects.

It seems to me Clojure ecosystem is in good shape, a lot of new libs keep coming out and there's a healthy & growing actively maintained set of libs. The Clojure way of data-centric APIs also means that stable libs don't need to be tweaked often to keep them working while the surrounding world changes. In the early days there were more hobby projects published and less serious use, currently the user base is more tilted towards inhouse business software. I grant that it would be cool if there were more stuff like Overtone or Quil from the early days happening now..
