If you don't get a flood of responses, I think it is because in this thread and the one linked earlier that Leon Adler started, several different people have explained evidence that Clojure on the JVM has had active development for five years, it is open source, and no one knows of any evidence that this will change any time in the future. That isn't the same as saying "will remain", but it is the best anyone can give you that is based on evidence and reason, rather than some other dubious methods.
If you believe another language will give you better assurances than that about its future target/platform, I don't see how you came to that conclusion, unless it is by making up conclusions out of thin air.
