    Interesting to see clj/deps.edn overtake lein.

    I wonder if people are really switching in such numbers or were clj/deps.edn users just more keen to express their preference in the survey.

    In my unscientific opinion, it seems like the majority of open source libs go for clj/deps.edn. Wonder what’s the case for people’s non public work… I say that after working at a place where some devs switched to lein because they just wanted to uberjar & not think/tinker too much.

      I’ve been resisting using deps for a while, but eventually decided to just suck it up and go with the flow since that’s where things are going. I find that tools.deps finally adds the missing piece for doing stuff like building uberjars, so there is finally parity with lein now. I do find lein to be more ergonomic, and I think it does the right thing by default.
