- fulafel 5y agoI don't think Clojure was ever growing at a huge clip, but it seems to be doing about the same as Scala, see eg the pie at https://snyk.io/blog/kotlin-overtakes-scala-and-clojure-to-become-the-2nd-most-popular-language-on-the-jvm/ https://snyk.io/blog/kotlin-overtakes-scala-and-clojure-to-b... Kotlin is just Java with improvements and it has major corporate push from Google, so it's natural for it to ride the big volumes. I think long term Clojure is going to keep doing well, despite modest pie slice of JVM dev, because lots of people continue to prefer its simplicity + dynamic FP + unique approach to data, plus the excellent ClojureScript side, and it doesn't really have competition or alternatives on the JVM (unlike Scala, where Kotlin/Java are co-opting features).
