As someone who works for one of the companies in Sydney that happened to use Clojure (one of the reasons I joined them), I know find myself in a strange situation where as a hiring manager and a leader of team of engineers that have little or no interest in FP languages that I can't justify advocating for FP languages.
a) hiring is way too difficult at the best of times and is compounded more when you filter the pool so small (admittedly the filter is not bad for some measures).
b) so few at the company have any interest in using languages outside of the more mainstream; for example it was no effort at all to get interest in Golang.
