"countless of Clojure dependencies having died"?

What exact does it mean by "died"? It does not work any more? Very unlikely.

In the Clojure world, it is the norm that a 5 years old library works as well as a one-week old one.

If you mean "died" by "not updated any more", sure that's the norm in Clojure as well. Some libraries are done, and some authors moved on. But most likely, these libraries can still be used just fine.

My production code base contains plenty of libraries that are not updated for ages, but I consider that a benefit, not a fault.
