> I've heard the creator of Clojure all but say he has put no thought into package management. Nice language, but it's not worth the cost of having to change how the rest of us work when there's existing environments that address the very basics that a developer needs.

Clojure relies on maven for this. Maven is a pretty accomplished package manager in the Java ecosystem. If Rich Hickey said that I assume he meant that he did not _have_ to invent a package manager as it comes for free from the underlying system.

To add, on Clojure you can also easily use git repos and local directories specified in deps.edn - these tend to get used mostly for private/internal deps.

ClojureScript side mostly uses the Maven mechanism for getting ClojureScript deps from Clojars (a Maven repo), but can also import Node modules for interop.
