I think it’s perfectly possible to have a career in Clojure in London. But, of course, I couldn’t advise anyone to move to the U.K. until the final state of Brexit is known.
- agd 8y agoThere are a tonne of Elixir jobs in London at the moment. It's a great city to live and work in.
- cutler 8y agoWhere exactly? I don't see many. Indeed.co.uk has only a handful of Elixir jobs by title search and Angel.io has hardly any.
- agd 8y agoLook on the elixir job boards, slack and forum. Some companies are hiring for multiple roles. E.g Whitehat are hiring 10 more devs, Toyota are building a team of 20. Etc. There are more open positions than Elixir devs in London atm.
- jtr_47 8y agoDon't choose a language because it will make you money. Choose language because it's something to learn and you'll enjoy programming in it. You can know more than 1 language. The main one is that which will earn you an income. The other, or others it to play and enjoy what the language and environment has too offer.
- cutler 8y agoEven in London there are only a handful of Clojure jobs. Clojure growth has stagnated. Likewise with Elixir though Elixir has a better chance in the long run due to the community's support for Phoenix.
- moomin 8y agoWorst case Elixir result is you become an Erlang programmer instead.
