I highly doubt it.

Clojure is a language, it is not necessarily bound to the JVM (although the common implementation is the one using the JVM). Like CPython to Python.

The JVM also brings with it the entire JVM ecosystem which makes clojure very practical.

Finally, there is actually an implementation of clojure for the browser (clojurescript) - which is a better idea than anything I've seen on the front-end (react-redux is OK, but clojurescript wrappers to react are just awesome). There is also an implementation for the CLR.

Clojure runs everywhere, it has a rich ecosystem since it utilizes good hosts (JVM, CLR, js engines (with google compiler optimizations)). It is, IMO, the most practical lisp out there.
