...if you want to hire best of best at low cost, develop products in interesting new programming languages as the most curious programmers who are very serious about programming care less about money and more about work in a particular language of their interest.
The problem is that the particular language of their interest probably changes every 6 months.

As a language nerd, one of the nice things about Lisp is that the language is easily extended into other paradigms. I've stuck with Clojure for a long time because of this. It had Go style CSP-concurrency as the core.async library within a few years of release. I can use types by just loading core.typed, or I can play around with logic programming with core.logic. Whenever I find a cool feature in another language, I usually find out that it's already available in Clojure as a library.
