I work in a JVM shop and I don't see Clojure making much head way. Unlike say, Apache Spark, there's no killer app (datomic notwithstanding) that requires Clojure over Scala.
Scala also offer the advantage of static type checking, and a less alien syntax. Yeah, I know Clojure is just s-expressions, but all the brackets don't help its uptake.
Oh, and Clojure stack traces make Scala stack traces look positively brief and informative.
