Java is antiquated though, I don't see many new big libraries/frameworks being written in it. Java is too big and too entrenched in the enterprise to go away any time soon but in ten years the language will become legacy. For what's being used, languages like Go and to some extent Rust are eating Java's market share for new stuff being built. More and more universities are moving away from Java as teaching language too.
Clojure is in a bad spot here, it was a good idea at the time but not today. Clojure relies on Java for its libraries cause Clojure has almost no ecosystem. 95% of Clojure libs are Java wrappers.
