"because Clojure jobs are scarce . . . you actually get a much higher number of applicants <and> you get a real shot at hiring rockstar devs"

I have felt this to be true for many years. I was an early Clojure adopter, deployed Clojure apps into production shortly after attending the very first Clojure/conj, and did quite a bit of hackerrank and similar competitive programming exercises with Clojure for fun and learning.

I didn't have much luck getting job offers for Clojure positions but was mostly successful in getting job offers for other tech stacks during that same time. It was kind of funny to me - I really wanted to move to a Clojure-only shop but kept getting offers for SQL and Java/C# positions despite not really being an enterprise dev type.
