Sometimes with time SW based companies seem to migrate towards "easy to hire maintenance devs" style stuff once the products mature and slow down. It seems to happen to Ruby and Python projects too. But you might not have gotten it built in the first place if you started that way.

(Though I don't think Clojure is really "innovation in programming languages" stuff, it's a rather straightforward Lispy language and has changed much less than eg Java, C#, JS in the last 15 years, and is simpler too)
