Are there a lot of Erlang, Prolog and Forth jobs, where you are? Face it, we all pretty much use the same 10 or so languages in industry.

Face it, we all pretty much use the same 10 or so languages in industry.
- samvher 7y agoI'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).
- lacampbell 7y agoThat'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.
