I don't think it matters much what these charts say as long as they do not measure merit and Clojure has a lot of it. You can use it irrespective of how an ill-advised majority of developers think Javascript/Node/Angular is good.

Please think about what you are saying when you write "You can use it irrespective of how an ill-advised majority of developers think Javascript/Node/Angular is good."
Most of the places I work will only allow the use of a language that is in the top 10. I am not allowed to introduce Clojure, because it is not popular enough. But if I told management "We should use Angular" that would be an easy sell. You sentence would be more accurate if you had simply written:
"You can use Javascript/Node/Angular irrespective of how good they are, but you can't use something that is great because a sometimes ill-advised majority of managers base their decisions on their estimate of future risks."
