There are plenty of old business systems which are critical, can't be removed or turned off, and use LISP, COBOL, etc. Meanwhile, nothing important uses Clojure or other trendy flash-in-the-pan language. If you want an interesting project, sure, use Clojure or something. If you want money, learn COBOL.
- jcpst 3y agoDoesn’t walmart use clojure?
- xedrac 3y agoI hear this a lot, but have never once seen a COBOL job posting.
- manicennui 3y agoI think a lot of these jobs go to former employees who now contract.
