You mention that Clojure doesn't help but I would assume that knowing Clojure puts a leg up due to the buzz I see about Clojure on this site all the time. Do you think sinking years into Clojure was a net negative for you?

Note: I really like Clojure and looking to invest time in it but I am scared it will not make me attractive to employers.

hackernews is not representative of the real world, you can pretty much round to zero % the amount of companies in the world using Clojure compared to main stream languages

you can also round to zero the amount of developers that are proficient in Clojure so this means nothing.

If 0.01% of the tech jobs use clojure and 0.005% of developers are looking for a clojure job that would still be a great position for the few thousands of clojure programmers.
