@freemo I was super interested until I saw the languages. I have used Java and C++, but man I really don't like to 😭
If you were willing to be flexible there, I would totally think of applying for that Data Scientist role, especially since I teach a lot of that stuff and use it regularly (and we chatted about it when I first joined actually, if you remember 😁)
But I assume that's not the case, and I am now sad, lol
If you have any positions coming up using lisp, julia, etc lemme know, I'll apply once I wrap up my dissertation, especially if I'm allowed to come to NL to work (and redecorate your office like you said 😉 😂 )
The thing we are really looking for polyglots. So list etc are all good, and I myself want to use Haskell as much as I can. But we need people who can work freely in any language, and that will be a lot of Java.
@freemo I mean I can comfortably use like 8+ languages (actually a lot more, I taught 7 in my class lol), but the OO paradigm generally just makes my stomach churn and both Java and C++ tend to fixate on it from my own experience (not to say they don’t support others but I find the other paradigms in these languages rarely employed). To be fair, maybe Java has improved their FP tooling since I last picked it up, but man if this was Clojure (since it runs on JVM) instead it would be much more palatable to me.
@freemo That's a good choice, I rather enjoyed GNU Guix. It sounds like a good foundation for serious work. With Enterprise Class Laptops I've never encountered performance issues.
