Why would an average dev not be able to maintain a clojure code base?
I'm going to guess what you really mean is a average dev that doesn't know clojure. In which case the argument your really making is that its hard to find "clojure devs". Which I think runs contrary to the numbers which suggest many more people wanting to work in clojure then can find jobs. This piece seems to echo that sentiment: https://juxt.pro/blog/posts/clojure-job-market.html https://juxt.pro/blog/posts/clojure-job-market.html
I think by and large companies probably struggle to find clojure devs in there immediate area. Which is why i see all the clojure jobs either
A) remote
B) in big cities
So its possible that companies could get great devs for less if they just allowed for remote.
Nothing backed up here by hard evidence, but worth considering that the language might not really be the only factor here.
