My guess is it went the way of Clojure. Small language that's generally loved but does not have a massive mind-share. Every once in a while you'll see some people gush about it, but then it's right back to regularly scheduled language wars.

There are people who despise it, because it diverges enough from a lisp to not be called a lisp and hate when they say Clojure is a lisp

They are free to help Armed Bear Common Lisp increase adoption on the JVM then.
