You say this as if it's not an absolutely massive body of programmers. A lot of large companies are institutionally committed to JVM, and clojure has settled into a niche as the language teams within them use when they don't want to use java.

I expect there are more people working on projects that fit that description than there are ones working in racket and haskell combined.
