The sad fact of life is that large corporations often dictate the platform. If you're a mobile app developer, for example, you're only native options are Swift, Java and Kotlin unless you're prepared to settle for a less efficient end product (Xamarin, Scala/Android, Clojure/Android).
- city41 9y agoJob trends play a role too. I really like Clojure and would like to keep using it. But it's less likely to help get me a job than say learning Python.

One also can help creating job market by - starting up - introducing Clojure at work - evangelizing it at local meetups (e.g. hijack a JS meetup, explaining cljs goodness) I've been thinking about the latter, as a consultant creating a 'need' for your services would be quite an accomplishment.

- yogthos 9y agoI work in corporate environment, and it's absolutely possible to use Clojure there. It's going to be harder to get buy in than in a small company or a startup, but not impossible.
