Clojure is past its hype phase, but it's certainly not dying. The yearly surveys consistently show more and more people using it professionally. It's used by large companies like Apple, Boeing, and Walmart for important large scale projects, and both the ecosystem and the community continue to grow at a steady pace. I've been working with Clojure for over 8 years now, and I've seen the community grow tremendously over that time.

My view is that Clojure has enough critical mass now that it's not going anywhere. There is a large community that's very active and enthusiastic about the language. There are many companies building their businesses around Clojure, and it's only going to continue to get better.

I don't think Clojure is ever going to become a mainstream language like JavaScript or Python, but that's very different from saying that it's dying.
