Everyone from PL hobbyists/enthusiasts, to web hackers, to people writing enterprise software. There are many Clojure advocates with many, equally valid diverse viewpoints including your own. I think a PHP hacker looking to replace his blub could just as easily enjoy Clojure as easily as a Haskeller looking for something pragmatic that interoperates well with the JVM.
