It is interesting how much traffic on HN Clojure gets, compared to Scala (as two JVM based functional languages), given their standings on various programming language trend surveys (and I do take those with a large crystal of salt).
I'm currently dipping into Scala because of Spark, but that is a necessity for work. Doing the same with Clojure out of _interest_. Perhaps that is one of the reasons?

I don't think there's enough signal in the noise, given that nothing dramatic has happened around either language in a year.
