I know of one company where I live that exclusively hires CL developers. They're called Secure Outcomes, and I think they do something with fingerprint recognition. They are, however, the only company I've ever seen "in the wild" that uses CL. I don't know if there's a .NET equivalent to Clojure, but that might be an inroad for you. If you find anything, would you let me know? I'm in a similar boat except stuck in Java / Groovy land. On a different note, would you mind if I pinged you some time to ask some ?'s about life in Australia? My wife and I are talking about places to emigrate, and Australia is very high on our list of desired places.

Certainly - I'm always keen to increase the ratio of geeks in Australia :-) My email address is dhgbayne@gmail.com. If you'd like, & if you don't mind your questions being public, you could always put them together as an Ask HN? submission. If you do that, email me anyway, & I'll make sure to reply to your submission.

  Hey, Duncan - Thanks. I'm on vacation next week so I will have plenty of time to put something together. I'll shoot you an e-mail when I do. Also, if you hear anything on Lisp gigs, please let me know! I am tired of explaining to folks I work with how annoying it is to have to fight a language when there are better alternatives out there.

    Ditto. "But you wouldn't _have_ to have a separate language for UI markup if your base language was sufficiently powerful!" Mind you, in many cases the solution could be either Ruby or Lisp :-)

In terms of Lisp for .NET, there's DotLisp - http://dotlisp.sourceforge.net/dotlisp.htm http://dotlisp.sourceforge.net/dotlisp.htm - but the developer of that platform jumped ship to Clojure back in 2007.
