I absolutely adore clojure, and whenever I do a non-sysadmin project on my own, I like to use it. But I'm still at the point in my career where people hire me rather than the other way around, and all the hand-waving I can do about "superiority of lambda calculus over the state machine" (okay, I'm more clear and practical than that) doesn't convince many.
