I'm try to understand how Ruby has any relation to Clojure's purported dying other than I guess a few critical things were said at a Ruby conference. What is becoming less popular is dynamically typed languages or perhaps more correct to say languages who's types are not statically analyzed at compile time. So if there is anything hurting Clojure I believe it is the increased uptake of languages with much better type systems than in the past (Scala, Swift, Rust, and even Go). Particularly Go as clearly it is eating a lot of the jaded JVM crowd (that .NET core should be taking up but for various reasons have not). Hell even Python is moving towards being more type oriented or at least having support for optional typing. That being said I think out of all the dynamic languages Lisp, and thus Clojure are the best. I even like Elisp. Its the only time I do like a dynamic language (other than quick shell like scripts) and that is because the runtime is integrated so heavily with the development that essentially you are getting your types constantly checked (as well as auto completion and code lookup).
