A Small Language's Ecosystem Screensaver
The A Small Language's Ecosystem screensaver shows packages on Clojars, the community repository for Clojure, key-less. The scale is the point: where npm counts packages in millions, this counts in tens of thousands. A language with a small, coherent library set behaves differently from one with a vast one — there is usually one obvious way to do a thing, and the group name says who maintains it. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
