As a counterexample, Clojure is pretty popular in some niches.
I have received offers this year to join well-funded startups using Clojure.
Datomic is great for some usecases. Clojure often leads the Stack Overflow survey in terms of salary.
- signa11 4y agoClojure often leads the Stack Overflow survey in terms of salary. wouldn't that also imply the classic demand and supply thingy ? the one that is alluded too in pg's articles...
- Hermitian909 4y agoMy impression is that the high salary is because Clojure it is primarily used for small-ish, fairly senior, highly technical teams writing high impact standalone services e.g. it's my understanding that a Walmart's route planning teams writes their service in Clojure. This actually meshes well with what you'd expect from a lisp being used well. Lisp's power and its downfall is that it lets you express abstraction at whatever skill level you're at with no built-in mechanisms to keep style consistent across large teams. This works really well for small teams of high powered developers.
