Those numbers aren't going to be an apples-to-apples comparison.
"Contributors" may be lower for the Clojure libs because as a Lisp it
enables them to be enormously more productive (up to 10x) than the other
languages. The greater expressiveness allows the same functionality to
live in a smaller codebase (as measured in LOC), likely reducing the
number of commits for a given amount of functionality. And Clojure's
concurrency and immutability constructs likely reduce the number of
bugs, and thus the number of tickets and the number of commits whose
primary purpose is to fix bugs.
Considering 3 of those languages - Elixir, Haskell and Scala - are
functional with immutable data structures and equivalent concurrency to
Clojure's I can't quite agree with you.
