Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Clojure is a product design tool
Full-featured test runner: https://github.com/lambdaisland/kaocha
If you install neil (https://github.com/babashka/neil), you can do `neil add test` which will automatically set up cognitect-labs/test-runner in your project. Then you can run tests with `neil test` (just an alias, you don't have to use it).
> I used Kit to bootstrap this project and the way it set up tests doesn't even work, but this was what most people recommended to me for starting a Clojure project
I don't really like the approach that Kit takes and prefer something more opinionated like Biff. I'd love to hear your feedback if you do end up trying out Biff.

Tracing: Structured Logging, but better in every way
There are logging libraries that include syntactically scoped timers, such as mulog (https://github.com/BrunoBonacci/mulog). While a great library, we preferred timbre (https://github.com/taoensso/timbre) and rolled our own logging timer macro that interoperates with it. More convenient to have such niceties in a Lisp of course.

Mentioning μ/log and no mention of timbre (https://github.com/taoensso/timbre), that is an odd omission. Malli is a great mention, but there ought to be a mention of clojure.spec (https://github.com/clojure/spec.alpha) which has much more mindshare.

Rich Hickey – open-source is Not About You
If you're not familiar with lisps in general, it might be hard to grok the differences between lisp-macros (as used in Clojure) and "normal" macros you see in other languages.
But, if you are familiar already, and just wanna see examples of neat macros that makes the API nicer than what a function could provide, here are a few:
- https://github.com/clojure/core.async/blob/master/examples/w...
- https://github.com/weavejester/compojure
- https://github.com/ptaoussanis/timbre
- https://github.com/krisajenkins/yesql

Build and run Clojure projects. CLI, tools.deps and deps.edn guide
When clj is invoked, two libraries will be available in our code: timbre logging library which artifacts taken from Maven, and test-runner, taken from GitHub.

Tour of our 250k line Clojure codebase
No, I don't think they were hyped at any point.
They are used in certain libraries like https://github.com/ptaoussanis/timbre but for things that are simply not possible without macros, for example (timbre/spy (+ 1 1)) will actually print both the expression and the result:
DEBUG [ss.experimental.scratch:1] - (+ 1 1) => 2
Perhaps if the macros are "simple" they can be unpacked relatively easily. I do understand how mentally challenging that can be for somebody who's just starting with Clojure. I've been using Clojure for ~8 years and only just recently became more comfortable with macros after I made a conscious effort in that direction. I'm still far from an "expert" in them.
What are some alternatives?
test-runner - A test runner for clojure.test
mulog - μ/log is a micro-logging library that logs events and data, not words!
maelstrom - A workbench for writing toy implementations of distributed systems.
integrant - Micro-framework for data-driven architecture
test-refresh - Refreshes and reruns clojure.tests in your project.
clj-new - Generate new projects based on clj, Boot, or Leiningen Templates!
deps-new - A new, simpler alternative to clj-new
rlwrap - A readline wrapper
pomegranate - A sane Clojure API for Maven Artifact Resolver + dynamic runtime modification of the classpath
clip - Light structure and support for dependency injection
apptemplate - Application project template for Clojure
