If you try to set a google alert for "Clojure jobs" and "Haskell jobs", or just go through "HN: who's hiring" of the recent years and compare search results for Clojure and Haskell, you'd see that it's not "just slightly above". Clojure currently is the most widely used FP lang.
- haskellandchill 6y agoDoesn't Scala beat Clojure in industry? That would be my experience and it has higher number of jobs on Who's Hiring. My ranking for adoption goes: Scala > F# > Elixir > Clojure > Haskell > OCaml. F# doesn't make much of a showing on Who's Hiring but I think it has stronger adoption in industry than Clojure.
- iLemming 6y agoIt used to be that way. But it looks like Scala is slightly losing (not to Clojure), mainly to Kotlin: https://snyk.io/blog/kotlin-overtakes-scala-and-clojure-to-become-the-2nd-most-popular-language-on-the-jvm/ https://snyk.io/blog/kotlin-overtakes-scala-and-clojure-to-b... Note that I'm not bashing or defending any of the PLs mentioned. It is merely the fact - today, Clojure is the most popular FP language being utilized in the industry. Check the number of podcasts dedicated to Clojure https://www.fpcasts.com; https://www.fpcasts.com; the number of conferences: https://purelyfunctional.tv/functional-programming-conferences; https://purelyfunctional.tv/functional-programming-conferenc... list of companies using it, job listings, etc. It doesn't mean that this all makes the language better or worse. Also, the overall share of languages with strong FP semantics is still way too small compared to the use of imperative PLs. That fact doesn't make OOP better than FP and vice-versa.
