To a point. I've noticed in functional language jobs the specific language is less meaningful. While it may be Clojure, it will often have a requirement of "experience in functional languages" rather than explicitly Clojure. I think that's a combination of fewer developers to choose from, smaller companies (so a technical person reviewing it rather than HR), and the recognition that the major difficulty to getting productive is that first paradigm shift, after which it's evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
