Because there is like one project and they had to pay a fortune to find anyone.

  Common trope which if you'd actually read through any real-world data, is nowhere near to be true. One basic example: https://jobs.braveclojure.com/ https://jobs.braveclojure.com/, five pages of jobs that are all about Clojure (and some others languages + Clojure) Not to mention when you're running a Clojure company and you go out to find candidates, most of them are really good and you won't have to look for very long, as long as you can compensate them well, as the competition between companies (for candidates) is fierce.

    And few clojure shops will require previous experience with clojure. The ones I’ve worked on have all welcomed engineers new to the language, which on its own is a refreshing approach to hiring. I don’t think highly of companies that hire at the level of specificity of “X years in Y technology”. Good engineering principles translate across stacks.
