If work are assigned to devs, then you are not doing agile anyway. It's supposed to be a pull system of tasks


I disagree. Look at the difference in documentation for Haskells Amazonka versus Clojures Amazonica. There are no simple code examples to get you going. Took me forever as a Haskell newbie to get DynamoDb integration working. In Clojure I just copy an example and play with it


Are the code examples in eg. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/amazonka-1.6.1/docs/Netwo... not sufficient?


The situation seems to have improved a bit since last I looked, but I still think it needs a basic howto about how to do stuff. I know you can figure most things out by looking at the types, but that's exactly where newbies lack experience, and you have search quite a bit for the information here, but thanks for the link. It's definitely better than it was


Yes, there is definitely no single through-line from "i know nothing" to "I can now program a microcontroller in Haskell" or whatever. It's a language which grew out of academia and still has a whiff of self-learning about it.


I'm starting up a new team in copenhagen, and we need solid developers, that knows functional programming, and especially Clojure, or who really want's to learn. The advert is in danish btw.


I can understand names of technologies/languages you use, but it would be nice to have offer in English.

p.s. I'm looking for a job in JVM languages in Western Europe or remote. Is Dutch mandatory at your place?


It's danish, as is the company language, it being the Ministry of Taxation
