Was reading this thread, this message, simultaneously talking on IRC.
Let me reproduce part of one conversation:

<dAS-> it sucks.. I'm still depressed over lisp
<dAS-> like wtf.. 
<dAS-> if I can't get a job with it.. I see little reason to spend all my 
time on it..
<dAS-> I love it.. 
<dAS-> but really.. 
<dAS-> and why do all lisp companies only request *LISP GURUS*
<dAS-> like wtf is up with that

I guess this can be applied to any non-mainstream language.
