The Clojure job market

At the various conferences we've attended - EuroClojure in particular - there's a common story amongst the delegates; developers who aren't using Clojure but who want to.

This sounds different from what I remember from last years EuroClojure. At the beginning of the conference, there was a show of hands of who's hiring (a lot of hands went up, I'd estimate[1] roughly half the room) and a show of hands for who's looking (I counted half a dozen hands).

Having said that, I do know that there are people actively looking to work in Clojure. I personally know a few such people (and I myself have also been basing my employment decisions around whether I can work in Clojure or not).

[1] from memory

I am not sure if others share my experience, but by spending some time on Clojurians and talking a bit about what we do, I often get polite "interest" - like "we are a nice company, offer free food and gym, why don't you come visit and say hi" - so my feeling is that there is an interesting market for senior Clojure positions. YMMV.
