It's not Java what makes Java platform one of the most popular but rather JVM. That's why Clojure grows in popularity. Because it brings the expressiveness.

Please show me how Clojure is growing in popularity. Clojure has never been more than a niche language.

well for one, it's being used in the industry quite a lot. Citi, Walmart, Amazon, CapitalOne, Facebook, and Spotify are just some of the names from this list.

A language can grow in popularity while still remaining a niche language. Haskell is a very good example of that, but I really can't say the same thing about Clojure.
