    Nice catch! It surprises me how much more popular F# is in Europe compared to the US. I finally got a professional F# gig in the states (\o/), but there were very few options. It makes me wonder, are universities in Europe providing a more functional-first approach to CS education, or is something else going on?

      Never seen a job ad on anything sharp other than C# in Europe. There are occasionally LISP and Clojure jobs from what I can tell. (It's also hard to find people on the talent side. I needed a Haskell developer with NLP skills in 2005, and could not find one so we had to port our codebase to Java.)

        It's anecdotal, but on the F# Software Foundation's slack workspace[1], 4 out of the last 5 postings in the #jobs channel were in Europe. No doubt, any company that picks a niche programming language as their business's lingua franca is taking a risk. For me, though, that is an indicator that they care about quality and do not have a culture of treating engineers as replaceable assembly line parts.
