I wonder how you see 10x more Clojure news.

Scala's usage is stagnant or declining, but Clojure has always been tiny in comparison. It doesn't even register in most rankings (TIOBE, StackOverflow) which is also confirmed by hard numbers e.g. GitHub statistics.

I've always seen Clojure alongside Elixir as sort of darling languages people like to talk about on forums such as this that doesn't get commensurate usage in the real world. There are always counter-examples and people will rush in to say how they use it, but that sort proves the point. I think it's a kind of love of esotericism and a desire to distinguish themselves that drives people to talk the talk when the average 9-5 is typescript, python, etc.
