I probably wouldn’t ever apply to a role that’s in a niche language I’ve never used. Most niche roles I’ve seen though want staff/principal level domain experts though. Last time I looked for a job in a niche language (Erlang in my case) most of what I could find was actually looking for Clojure or Scala developers or something, but decided to keyword dump every functional language they’d ever heard of.
