Why JVM (and not .NET) is the "primary" platform for Clojure?

[Dmitry Kakurin]

I've watched some Clojure screen cast where Rich Hickey mentions that
initially Clojure was co-developed for both platforms simultaneously.
But then it became too hard and he has dropped .NET support.

Out of curiosity, why JVM has won the contest :-)?

Rich expanded on this briefly in IRC:

The following is an interview with Rich Hickey where he answers your
question.

Have you got another URL for this article? It seems that IDG forgot
to renew idg.net.au (it's currently inactive), and that took
computerworld.com.au with it and many other IDG sites under .au.

I read the article under that URL a few minutes ago, it works fine!

I couldn't resolve it earlier, but it seems to be working now.

If you can't get there directly, this also works for me:

hmmm... Actually, I see the Coral Cache link just redirects back to
the actual page anyway. But as I said it seems to be working again
anyway.
