It is now official. Netcraft has confirmed: Clojure is dying.

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Clojure community when Lambda Island confirmed that Clojure market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all new code. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Clojure has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Clojure is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent comprehensive programming languages survey.

You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict Clojure's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Clojure faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Clojure because Clojure is dying. Things are looking very bad for Clojure As many of us are already aware, Clojure continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

Due to the troubles of Lisp, abysmal sales and so on, Lisp Machines went out of business and was taken over by GigaMos Systems, who sold another troubled Lisp. Now GigaMos is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that Clojure has steadily declined in market share. Clojure is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Clojure is to survive at all it will be among programming language dilettante dabblers. Clojure continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Clojure is dead.

Wow. You literally think selinux is bad because it uses strcmp and enums? Maybe you should read a book about C sometime before you make a fool of yourself on the internets.
