Different languages definitely have differently expectations and cultures around this stuff. If an npm package hasn’t been updated in 2 years, I’m suspicious. I’m gonna check the downloads, check GitHub issues and stuff to see kind of problems people are having, Google around to see if people are using something else.

If a clojars package hasn’t been updated in 6 years, I don’t even think about it!!

npm package can contain binary code... it's an absolute disaster of an ecosystem, driven by "it works on my computer" and "I can build an app in 10 minutes!"
