That's why I said one should program in a plethora of languages to understand the strengths and weakness of each paradigm and feature set. You wouldn't use a sledgehammer to put a nail in the wall for hanging a picture and similarly there are certain situations where Clojure or Ruby is not the right language.

But imagine how much fun it would be to drive that tiny nail into the wall with that huge sledgehammer.
I don't disagree with you - on the contrary - but just wanted to point out that fun might be a great motivator for chosing a language.
