I think one of the Problem with Lisp (and Haskell ...) is that people keep talking about how the are only for smart people and we should really get away from this.
Clojure is easier to learn then Java if your not allready set in Java ways and even if you are then you will have to learn a lot of the Clojure lessens in Java. Going more towards parallel und concurent systems immutebility has proven to be the better default and that what Java Books teach too. Once you get that in your head learning Clojure want look half as bad.
Not every Java team will just use Clojure or Scala but the trend in Industrie atm is to be open to all kinds of new stuff like FP, NoSQL, TDD, CI, XP ...
Its likely that Clojure will not get steam like Java or C but that alternativ Solution can be much better then sitting at your old tech-stack and that message will eventually even drop threw to mangers. Its a bottum up "revolution".
