* Elixir quickly got a bigger job market. Why? It's easier and good-enough, while still benefitial. Also it has a One True framework instead of the Clojure situation (many competitors, different degrees of liveliness) * Sadly JVM-Clojure interop is not used as Rich envisioned, neither technically (we use wrapper libs!) or socially (we create Clojure projects from scratch rather than 'hijack' enterprise Java projects) * Don't know much about Reason. But in general I get the impression other JS communities don't have the same headaches as us (maybe at the cost of some complexity) Clojure is a great bunch of ideas. But ideas also need continuous grunt work and refinement. And finally, IME most programmers will take 'Easy' over 'Simple'. Which is why other new langs seem to have all the fun, and more jobs. Another example: Kotlin. It did in 1 year what Clojure didn't in 10.
