I'm working mostly in Erlang and from what I can tell there is quite some demand for Erlang and Elixir developers. Also there seems to be a lot of demand for Scala developers which while based on Java is not the same as those 10 languages. I've also used PostScript in a work context (which is stack based like Forth).

That's pretty cool. Erlang interests me, mainly because of what a amazing speaker the late great Joe Armstrong was. I don't really solve a lot of Erlang shaped problems right now, however.

My situation is this - people see my CV, see those languages, and immediately dismiss me for Java jobs. I think it's a short sighted decision, but it's the thinking that permeates the industry.
