A couple of unscientific measures of Clojure vs Scala:

- First couple of screenfuls worth of HN Algolia search stories by date covers 7 months of scala, vs 3 months of Cloure stories - score 1 for cloure

- on Lobsters, 2 pages of Clojure is 9 months, for Scala 3 years - score 1 for clojure

- in StackOverflow dev survey, Scala respondent count is ~50% higher than Clojure (~1800 vs ~1200) - though Clojure is "loved" significantly more. Score 1 for Scala.

I'll admit it seems more of a draw than I thought and you could reasonably weight the SO case a bit more than the first 2...
