Based on my analysis of Rosetta Code samples, Clojure is the most popular language with its compactness.

Also, it has a low frequency of bugfix commits (which may or may not be related to bugs also). (but it might be the dev experience, I have not adjusted for it).

In addition, the JVM gives it great performance, and it has actual CPU multithreading (while Python or other scripting languages have a GIL). This makes it relevant in today's environment where Moore's law continues through number of cores.

Therefore I don't think Clojure will die too soon.
