I'd guess that at any given point in time there are probably several people who'd rather being working with Clojure in their day job than whatever they're actually doing now.

This will make the whole project fail. Many innovative ideas in computer science tend to in academia and only slowly make their way into more mainstream, practical environments. Consider garbage collection, or relational databases. Both very "academic" at one time, and now they're everywhere. Point being, really practical people use the best ideas they can, regardless of where they came from.
