> I have trouble finding enough people, mature enough to be able to even propose working projects in Clojure.

It has nothing to do with maturity and very thing to do with maintenance time and maintenance costs of using languages that do not have a robust pipeline of talent.

Using languages like closure do give you a great amount of job security if you manage to sneak it in though.

I am not after job security. In fact, I treat "I am not after job security" as one of the important points when presenting to potential employers.

I try to do good job and think for the outcomes for the employer first.

I value trust and I try to make it clear to my boss that they can trust me to always work with best interest for the project and company.

For example, I always make it clear when I make mistakes and then we try to figure out how to solve them.

I think, overall, this brings much better job security than trying to sneak technology to create a project that only I would be able to maintain.
