A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Are there any good sites to get a feel for how popular a package is? I can get the details on bintray but its clunky especially compared to the JS ecosystem (i.e., see npmjs where I can search for a keyword and see metrics about that package and other packages side by side

haha i find they're not the greatest indicator tbh :slightly_smiling_face:

but thats not a nice side-by-side comparison either as everytime you need a new package/feature you'd have to go to every github page to look and compare!

for example, the npmjs provides 'popularity', 'maintainence' 'downloads' and one more metric which i can't recall currently ... it gives a great snapshot of which packages to investigate first

maven central statistics is probably the best thing you can find in Java/Kotlin world
but only for packages that are published on maven central

this place <https://mvnrepository.com/> ?

there are some stats here <https://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries>

but it's for some selected libraries I think
