Clojure Success Stories

It is interesting how much traffic on HN Clojure gets, compared to Scala (as two JVM based functional languages), given their standings on various programming language trend surveys (and I do take those with a large crystal of salt).

I'm currently dipping into Scala because of Spark, but that is a necessity for work. Doing the same with Clojure out of _interest_. Perhaps that is one of the reasons?

A year ago Clojure was higher than Scala in TIOBE: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/8gebfu/clojure_ran...

I don't think there's enough signal in the noise, given that nothing dramatic has happened around either language in a year.
