I'm seeing Clojure related posts on top of HN almost every week. And I'm watching people trying Clojure, coming with all sorts of different backgrounds. I have worked with people who came to Clojure from C++, Ruby, Python, C#, Haskell, Go, Scala, OCaml, JavaScript, CL; people with no programming experience at all.
Of course, that all is incomparable with the craze that something like Typescript receives. And I used to feel anxious, worried that this would be the last ever job where I happily used Clojure. But after my third job where Clojure was the primary language, I stopped sweating about that.
I think Clojure, at this point, has stabilized in the industry and slowly and steadily would continue to attract people. The only thing that can genuinely kill Clojure - is a better version of its fork.
But as you say, it's popular "for a Lisp dialect" and I don't expect it to reach past that. I would love to be proven wrong.
That being said, your post made me realize that instead of lamenting the nicheness of Lisps, I should be encouraging other people to give Clojure a shot. And not only to help Clojure be more successful, but also to bring a little bit of joy to their daily life like Clojure often does. (It sounds trite but it's true.)
