If you want to use cool languages, you may have to get a cool job. I know: it's easy to say and harder to accomplish.
Most functional languages (e.g. Lisp, Haskell, ...) have a challenging time in industry since they require some savvy with multiple levels of higher abstractions and some savvy with mathematical ideas and some savvy with functional algorithms and data structures.
Also, your manager has probably come up through the technical ranks on his/her OOA/OOD/OOP skills and sees you as a young (or not) upstart trying to show off.
