I've always seen Clojure alongside Elixir as sort of darling languages people like to talk about on forums such as this that doesn't get commensurate usage in the real world. There are always counter-examples and people will rush in to say how they use it, but that sort proves the point. I think it's a kind of love of esotericism and a desire to distinguish themselves that drives people to talk the talk when the average 9-5 is typescript, python, etc.
