Still, I'd love to get a job using Common Lisp, which I haven't really touched since I studied. Why can't I do that?

I pay my bills writing Common Lisp code, full time. The fact that you're not an employed Lisper is your own fault, IMO, it takes guts to look someone in the eye and tell them their investment, in both time and money, is safe with you and your fringe programming language. It's allot of work, a lot of responsibility, and most certainly tons of fun.

Try it.

P.S. I am both lead developer and "CTO"; I have a team of web developers who consume my backend and architecture.

Not just fringe language, but fringe anything.

The only known amongst a see of unknowns will be you.
