Tons of Clojure in Europe. Especially Northern Europe. Following the job boards and Clojurians Slack channel's #jobs channels I figure it's about 50/50 for US and EU.

It's using the Deno runtime, not Node. Deno has a TS compiler built-in, thus not requiring you to set anything up in that regard.

Yes, you're right, and I also do it. Doesn't mean however that I need to bury my head in the sand in topics such as this and never mention it.

Because of the whole "master" meaning a slave owner thing that the progressive left seems to think it means and it apparently hurt enough feelings to make it a movement (default main branch on Github repos is now also "main&q

Private clinics/hospitals in Europe can do this, and I'm assuming at a lot less of a price than 50k. I always go to private clinics in Europe and for getting your entire body tested costs, in Estonia, maybe a few thousand USD. I r

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I wrote a blog post about being a niche programmer that you may or may not find useful: https://ano.ee/blog/the-niche-programmer

I felt the same way, but then I learnt a niche programming language (Clojure), and get to do front-end work for double the salary, with far less competition, and I quite enjoy programming again. Not saying it will work for you, but worth a

I don't really "care" about the business, not in any sense similar to the founder or CEO at the very least, but as a contractor who usually works long-term for one client, I always make it a point to ask what their runway is

It's very new, like, a month or so old, but I'm seeing quite a few people experimenting with it already in the Clojure community. Roam Research ( https://roamresearch.com/ ) has their mobile apps built with it.

There's ClojureDart, which means you can now do Dart and Flutter development in Clojure: https://github.com/Tensegritics/ClojureDart

This is where I would have lawyered up. I don't know where this happened to you, but over in Europe I'm pretty sure this is illegal and I'd be gunning for some sweet, sweet money.

I've found that co-working even then is beneficial. There's usually a co-working closer to me than the office, so less commute, not to mention I don't like working in a place where a manager oversees everything I do, every br

by askonomm 4y ago
Actually in most cases the company pays for your co-working. At least that's my experience working for fully-remote or mostly-fully-remote companies.

by askonomm 4y ago
And you can't achieve that with a co-working place? That's what I do. But I get to live in any city or country I want while earning the salary of any city/country I want.

by askonomm 4y ago
No for that we use Python, but there is a growing ML community with Clojure as well, so I'd say definitely possible.

If you're interested in getting a Clojure job, join the Clojurians Slack (an extremely friendly and welcoming community of some 20 thousand people) and check out Brave Clojure Jobs ( https://jobs.braveclojure.com/ ) Also

Clojure is a parasidic language that targets multiple different hosts, such as JavaScript, allowing you to write React.js and Node.js software, as well as JVM, .NET and even Dart/Flutter as of recently. So the answer to what Clojure is

There's also Nubank that uses Clojure ($41.5 billion valuation).

I've done some Swift using AppCode ( https://www.jetbrains.com/objc/ ), a Jetbrains editor, and was very satisfied.

Definitely! I stumbled upon a happy accident, really. That said, if you'd like to try Clojure for example, quite a few companies are hiring without any prior Clojure knowledge. Though, functional programming experience will definitely

I hear great things about Nim and also Zig. I'd say check what the market is like for those (ie supply and demand) and go wild!

by askonomm 4y ago
What if you really like that niche? That said, with Clojure I can do React.js, Node.js, JVM and, as of recently, even Dart/Flutter development. Within each of those there's a vast array of things that can be done as well, so it re

by askonomm 4y ago
That's true, perhaps I should've clarified that in the article. There's a lot of languages out there that are very niche and have virtually no jobs for them (especially very new languages), so some market research is of cours

If height is so important, why not relocate? I'm 6.2, but Northern European, and I see myself as quite average around these parts, and often meet people taller than me. When I lived in Argentina, I felt like a giant. South tends to hav

I have the opposite thing. I become more and more frustrated and intolerant towards kids and especially their parents for making the rest of us go through that. I get it that they wanted kids and were ready for the screaming and whining and
