HACKER Q&A

Have you had trouble recruiting Clojure developers?


Secondary question: Have you had trouble bringing on devs that didn't want to learn a new language?

i.e. "I don't want to work in Clojure, thanks anyway."

I tried to get Clojure jobs once, was turned away everywhere for lack of experience despite having used Lisp and variants fairly regularly since uni.

Do you have more details? I would be interested in understanding this specific situation a little better - can you tell us a little more about what the job requirements are? What type of salary range?

I would guess that these days that Clojure isn't "popular" in a large sense so you have developers who would rather build their careers on more recognizable programming languages (java, javascript, c#, etc).

The second question is puzzling. Are you offering to train new hires on Clojure?
