Exactly. To me, clojure is anything but a language for n00bs. I consider it best suited for people with extensive knowledge of the Java platform and at least good notions of FP, needing a way to write more powerful and concise code without throwing away a proven codebase or compromising performance. Even if new to Clojure (or Lisp) I would not call these people n00bs.
