> scaling the team is going to be slower On the other hand, the ROI from hiring a couple of developers with Clojure/CL experience is almost always guaranteed to be higher than hiring a bunch of "regular" programmers. Niche languages like Clojure usually attract more experienced, tired, "seen some shit" developers who have likely worked with multiple languages before. Their broad experience typically leads to higher productivity and better-quality code.
