So you're easily dismissing the idea that Clojure might have become more mature, ergo more appealing?
It's an extremely pragmatic choice, striving for elegance and simplicity, whereas Scala is rather more confusing than straightforward.

My favorite snarky quote along these lines: "With Scala you feel smart having just got something to work in a beautiful way but when you look around the room to tell your clojure colleague how clever you are, you notice he left 3 hours ago and there is a post-it saying use a Map." --Daniel Worthington-Bodart
