Yep, Toronto is a nice place, but in Budapest, Hungary Clojure programmers are basically non-existent. What you are saying might fit Canada, or the USA, but not every other part of the world.
My main point was that we don't hire Clojure programmers on my team. We hire programmers who are willing to learn new things on the job, and one of these things happens to be Clojure. I see this is as a helpful filter because if somebody isn't willing to learn a new language, chances aren't very flexible as a developer in general. The nature of our industry is that it's constantly evolving, and you have to be adaptable to keep up.
