It didn‘t gain any popularity with me, since I had to debug it once. Most Clojure code is just a collection of overly clever recursive subroutines. In the end I rewrote the code in Java. It was shorter, easier to read and probably more performant than the same code in Clojure. Don‘t believe the hype. Clojure has some nice constructs for concurrent programming, but most of them are available also in Java since version 8, or are available as some external package. In the end programming in Clojure will just make your project more expensive, as good Clojure programmer are a rare species. The small advantages of smart Clojure constructs won‘t outweight the costs of maintaining Clojure code in the long run. The same is actually true for Scala.
