It would certainly seem to me (in London at least) that scala has most of the "enterprise functional programming on the JVM" pie. I hardly see any clojure jobs pop up. From what I've seen I'd say demand for FP skills looks like:
Scala > F# > clojure > Haskell (really bummed about the last one!)
In London finance circles. Does that sound about right?
- moomin 13y agoSounds about right, but there's certainly people working in Clojure: there's startups like MastodonC (who employ Vishal), there's ForwardTek who love it, there's a number of hedge funds based around it, there's the credit derivatives desk at Citi. There's some stuff at DB as well. But tbh, if you want a Clojure job, it wouldn't hurt to go to the clojure meetings at SkillsMatter. With all of that said, the market depth does worry me, especially for finance.
- dons 13y agoGot about 30 guys here using Haskell. More in other centers.
