Ask HN: Is Clojure Dead?

Hi, I don't see much about clojure over past 2 years or so. Same goes for other industry functional languages (e.g. elixir, scala, F#).

Are they just in later stages of hype cycle or are they dying out the same way perl did?

For better or worse most of news/fuzz these days seem to be about Rust (not that this translates to actual job postings though).

PS: Asking because I want to delve into a functional language but I cannot bring myself to do this seriously if it doesn't translate into market value.
