There are, obviously, far more ruby/python programmers. But, at the very most, I might only ever need a dozen Lisp programmers and I already know 20 that I would love to work with. Lisp is even pretty easy to pick up if you're smart know other dynamically typed, functional, and OO languages.

As a point of reference, ITA Software has no trouble hiring 100s of Lisp programmers.

Minor correction: I am a founder - and if I were to leave (while my co-founders continued), I'd make a point to find my replacement first.
