It's difficult to know what specific things will cause a programming language to succeed. It's always easier in hindsight to come up with the reasons why one language was successful and another one wasn't. I think that sometimes it's a case of being in the right place at the right time with the right set of features.

I dont think so, The JVM is very limited, The best concurrent programming languages right now are Haskell and Erlang.

If Clojure is to concurrency as Java is to OOP, then it will force programmers to think in terms of concurrency even when programming single-threaded, it will make concurrent programming harder than it needs to be and will set concurrency back by many years.
