I've noticed the reddit is less active, but I think that's just because everything needing saying was said already. At least it is for me, just busy coding.

The Clojure annual survey gets more and more participants every year, so from that angle it seems to be growing.

Clojure survey in 2015 had 2,445, 2016 had 2,420 responses, 2018 dropped to 2,325, and 2019 had 2,461. So pretty flat.
Oh you're right, I got mixed up with the announcement:

> In the first Clojure survey in 2010, 27% of respondents reported using Clojure for work and 33% for serious hobby projects. This number has steadily grown over the years and we now see 66% using it at work and 54% using it for serious hobby projects.

It's the number of Clojure devs using Clojure for work that has consistently grown. Interesting that this has happened without the community growing in numbers.
