Clojure is definitely not dead. There are active Clojure user groups in most countries (even in my little region) and i still (or even more than ever) stumble uppon cool and exiting projects and libs (e.g. https://github.com/borkdude. It's just incredible what a surplus value this dude alone provides to the ecosystem)

Clojure may not have the biggest audience but like others said, it generally focuses more on stability, so using libraries that haven't been updated a while is more of a plus-point and don't mean they are outdated.

Personally speaking, Clojure really brought back the joy of programming and i would never willingly go back to developing in a language without a REPL. The tight feedback loop you have while molding a running program in your editor and the constant dopamine drip feed it causes are just too addictive.
