I'm about to start training 4 devs on my team at Oracle in Clojure. My manager is very nervous about putting Clojure into the product. I'm forging on regardless :) I rewrote some components of our product in Clojure in my spare time, mainly as a proof of concept that we could do some of our analytics in the streaming model rather than in the data warehousing model. As sometimes happens, the POC was so simple and fast that the team is now interested in productizing it.
In our last 1-1 meeting, my manager told me he had searched LinkedIn for Clojure and "only" got 9000 matches. Whereas his search for Java turned up 80 million or some such. My rebuttal is that those are the 9000 smartest developers, so you should be trying to recruit them. --mike On Tuesday, April 19, 2011 at 7:38:14 AM UTC-7, Damien wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > I'm on a mission: introducing Clojure in my company, which is a big > consulting company like many others. > > I started talking about Clojure to my manager yesterday. > I was prepared to talk about all the technical benefits and he was > interested. > I still have a long way to go but I think that was a good start. > > However I need to figure out how to answer to one of his questions: who is > using Clojure? > > Obviously I know each of you is using Clojure, that makes almost 5,000 > people. > I know there is Relevance and Clojure/core. > I read about BackType or FlightCaster using Clojure. > > But, let's face it, that doesn't give me a killer answer. > > What could help is a list of success stories, a bit like MongoDB published > here: > http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments > > Is there a place where I could find this kind of information for Clojure? > > Thanks > > -- > Damien Lepage > http://damienlepage.com > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
