This.
I really love Clojure, but these days I'm still mostly a Java/Kotlin guy. Haven't seen any Clojure job or Clojure being used in production yet, unfortunately.
Sadly, that is a common fate for Lisp(-like) languages nowadays. People are scared of unusual syntax.
- bbaumgar 8y agoI'm curious - how hard have you looked? There are lists with clojure success stories [0] [1] [2] and quite a few companies hiring clojure devs [0] [3] [4]. Anecdotally, there are 5 startups within a 1 mile radius of my office (in Charlottesville, VA) whose primary stack is clojure.

- coffeedoughnuts 8y agoWe’re based in Bristol, UK and are exclusively Clojure on the backend and starting to use Datomic in production this year. There are a few other clojure focussed companies in Bristol too.
