Do you mind sharing in what space you work on? Just curious about where Common Lisp finds professional usage. It's not something you see every day.
Also, do you have any tips on landing a Common Lisp job for someone who's already in the middle of their career (30s, senior dev)?

- vindarel 6y agoThis is attractive :) No offer mention Lisp though? found https://www.siscog.pt/en/careers/software-engineer-lisbon-ref-swel012018/ https://www.siscog.pt/en/careers/software-engineer-lisbon-re...
- pjmlp 6y agoIt is been a while, so I don't have any more contacts there, yet one might apply and find out.
- watermelon59 6y agoOh hey, that sounds interesting and I already speak the local language :)
- heisig 6y agoI work in academia. My research is about new concepts for parallel programming, especially via runtime optimization and JIT compilation. It was not hard to convince others to use Common Lisp for this - there aren't many languages that allow for metaprogramming at run time. And of these languages, Common Lisp is the only one with decent performance. As for landing a job outside of academia - my advice would be to attend some of the regular Lisp meetings (See http://planet.lisp.org/ http://planet.lisp.org/, or https://european-lisp-symposium.org/ https://european-lisp-symposium.org/). There is usually some recruiting going on at these meetings. And even if not, you might meet fellow hackers that know about job opportunities.
