Clojure is associated with the JVM platform, Java and Scala and Kotlin end user open source apps are also underrepresented relative to dev population. There are lots of OS Clojure projects but they are mostly tooling, libs, databases, etc. There are a lot of business and data stuff most of which isn't open source.

Come to think of it are there many TypeScript open source apps either?



Apache has mostly jvm language projects but interestingly there is no single clojure example https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?language#C#

NB: Kotlin is not seen there either (fairly new) but does feature quite a few mobile apps on f-droid

In any case the thread includes now a number of good project suggestions to explore
