I was never able to find work with Clojure. Always had endless jobs available for JS though.

But agreed, it's still worth the effort to learn as many new languages as possible. It will make you a better programmer.

Haskell and Erlang were particularly eye-opening for me, but Scheme/Clojure was a great entry point into FP.

I got lucky and found an Erlang one. In general there are a lot less of those than other jobs. It's kind of a double-edged sword, there are lot of Java / JS / Python / C++ jobs but there are also a lot of programmers who apply for those.

If I had found an Elixir job I would have taken that as well, most of the harder to grok concepts are pretty much the same between the languages. And I do prefer Erlang I find it simpler so far.
