There was something that was said about an old language that I've always enjoyed, REBOL, which in effect is that new programmers adapt to it very quickly but seasoned programmers often have trouble unlearning how they did things in languages they're more familiar with (usually descendants of C). I feel the same applies to Clojure and Lisps in general. So one reason why the respondents haven't increased much is because its not attracting enough new developers and seasoned developers are giving up too early. Which is too bad because, sure, getting over that initial hump can be frustrating at times but, boy is it worth it! Spending only a few months with Clojure has already made me a much better programmer in the other languages I use.
