Most Clojure libraries I've worked with, even the "larger" ones, are fairly small and concise by modern standards. I wonder if this has something to do with the lack of activity (in addition to being a small community). It feels a bit like the Unix philosophy - lots of small/medium libraries handling discrete problems, rather than many competing mega-frameworks. To me, this feels like a silver lining that comes from the limitations of a smaller dev community.
This is why I love functional programming as a whole. I feel like my code is really terse, without little/no sacrifices in expressivity, and usually no substantial sacrifice in performance.
