How to find a job as a functional programmer?

Question

Erlang

What to do if you are all such cool front-end programmers on clojure (freelance), rummage in haskell, like Erlang / Elixir with their OTP, in general, all this functional programming sticks very much, you see mutability only in nightmares, but in your country (RB ) there are vacancies only for java developers (I exaggerate, but I did not find any vacancies in FYP on devbay)? Is there anyone here who works as an FP programmer (not necessarily in Belarus)? How did you find a job?
Up to this point, I've been freelancing on the web, but I'm not averse to changing realms (let's say network to erlang).
PS: Since I have always worked as a freelancer, it turns out that I am a June.

Answer 2

> since I have always worked only as a freelancer, it turns out that I am June.
what a fabulous piece of shit.
> (let's say, on the network in erlang).
Freelancing on network Erlang. I take different things, there are customers who don’t care what they do, as long as it works.
A couple of times I rewrote crutch websocket servers from php to Erlang, customers wrote with boiling water after that.
In general, it is possible to find a job, but it is difficult with Erlang.
PS What am I? why do I need competition in your face :P

Answer 3

On ruhaskell and in the chat on gitter, offers sometimes slip through. It's worth looking there.

Answer 4

the level of a programmer does not depend on where he worked, that is, what prevents a senior from working as a freelancer?
if you are so cool then show your github?
i have a couple of friends with your bias and they don’t have any problem with work, they are always called to work from github

Answer 5

You will not believe it, but over the past 15 years I have only been asked 5 times - what specific technologies I am going to implement this or that project with.
94% of customers are not interested in whether you will do it using functional methods or even on BrainFak.

Answer 6

Customers are not interested in what you will write on.
Write on whatever you want.
Large offices may already have their own strict requirements for the tools used.
But in small offices, as a rule, there is complete confusion - you can use whatever you want.

Answer 7

there are vacancies only for java developers

So here you need to look, Clojure works on top of the JVM.
You can use ClojureScript for functionality - here the whole market is open because it is a frontend. The frontend is full of vacancies. And you yourself understand the difference between ClojureScript and Clojure. So you can function right on the frontend.
Well, go to the Clojure slack clojurians.net
there is a channel for RU, and there are others, monitor it there.
For other languages ​​like Haskell or Erlang, I would also look for the appropriate channels in Slack.

Answer 8

We (Adalisk) have a couple of jobs open at Scala. Clojure is a rarer language after all. A few years ago, some projects were made on it in Jet Infosystem, but I don’t know how it is now with it.

Answer 9

We always have vacancies for a team working on Erlang. The team is developing a high-load system for an American product and service company. The conditions are very good. A good level of English is required.
