I and a few others in my workplace are Clojure beginners. It's really not hard to pick up once you suck it up and stop bitching about parentheses. I don't think the language owners are terribly concerned about picking up beginners though, for all it seems they may actually like Clojure's reputation as belonging to Serious Programmers.

My biggest beef is actually with all the lisp true believers who wax on about their moment of clarity when all the pieces fit together and they realized that the universe is written in lisp. So far for me, it's just code.
