Why do you consider Clojure a failure in the Java ecosystem?

MS only really wants runaway successes, not modest successes, particularly at the salaries required for the types of engineers to pull such a thing off. Clojure hasn’t attained runaway success in the corporate world and that’s even with the nearly flawless design and implementation Hickey executed. Even the branding is somehow more memorable than most languages.
