I don't feel like clojure stalled out. You have to realize the redmonk rankings are using very weak heuristics to get these results. I'd rather choose languages and tools by how much they match the problem space rather than how popular they are at any particular point in time.
If you trim out all the worthless SO questions/anwsers you'll get radically different rankings on redmonk. JavaScript could very easily drop from its first place doing just that.
I don't get why people chase popularity in programming languages. That's what you do in a pop culture, not in an engineering one.
