Well, my $.02: 1. In terms of employability? Not much immediately, but perhaps more in the future as Clojure matures, more places use it, multicore languages become "hot", etc. I have no idea what the demand for Clojure is like in India, though. It will certainly make you a better programmer, however. 2. Yes. The biggest hurdle is learning a Lisp, not in switching between Lisps. The actual keywords used may vary, but the underlying concepts will be quite similar. 3. Here in New York, I rarely see Clojure jobs advertised for, but there's definitely people interested. I suspect it's mostly being used personally, and for some small in-house projects at the moment. I expect I'll hear of some startups using it as their language of choice in the next year. 4. I love it, but I'm only using it at the personal level. I think it's an extremely well thought-out language.
