Echoing some of the other posters here: Clojure is fantastic, hiring (several) Clojure developers is hard.

Conversely, you can also get to the end of your roadmap quickly (Clojure being great) and end up overstaffed.

There's a different line to walk with languages like Clojure.

Why not hire good non-Clojure devs and bootcamp them in Clojure over a month?

Ah, you probably want to pay them 70k/year.

We've done a lot of this too. Works very well. Hire curious, teach Clojure.
Wouldn’t these two average each other out long term?
