There are elements of the Clojure design philosophy that are likely to keep it in the realm of "hosted language" for some time to come. That said, with the advent of self-hosted ClojureScript, there is no reason that you need be tied to the JVM just to use Clojure. In some regards, I see the ClojureScript community growing at an even faster clip than the parent language (though Clojure does have a large head-start).
