Clojure IMO is gaining great mindshare as a practical Lisp, especially given how recent it is. I don't think anybody expects it to become as mainstream as Java. But it does attract programmers unfamiliar with FP, but whose appetite for languages higher in the power continuum has been whetted by languages like Ruby.
