 I still have a long way to go but I think that was a good start.

 Obviously I know each of you is using Clojure, that makes almost 5,000

 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

 Is there a place where I could find this kind of information for Clojure?

Re: Who's using Clojure?

2015-03-06 Thread Daniel Kersten
Regarding hiring, it seems to me that most of the smaller companies aren't
hiring clojure developers but rather training other developers.

I know one local former java shop that now mostly uses clojure for new
development and non of their team of ~10 had any prior clojure experience.
In my own startup I'm one of only two developers and the other guy had no
prior clojure experience but picked it up in a matter of weeks.

To add to the who's using clojure conversation: I know three companies
here (Dublin, Ireland) who are using Clojure heavily (and one or two more
US companies who use it who have operations here but I think they're
already mentioned on the lists here).

Re: Who's using Clojure?

2015-03-06 Thread Alex Miller
I can confirm that there are a lot of companies training existing devs in 
Clojure. I pretty regularly conduct training classes (for Cognitect) at 
companies in this position, usually for 15-25 devs. Most commonly those devs 
are coming from Java or Ruby. Some of those are well-known Clojure companies 
but many are not. 

I don't track any numbers on it but anecdotally I am seeing a lot more Clojure 
job ads this year than last.

Re: Who's using Clojure?

2015-03-06 Thread Fergal Byrne
Hey Dan  Michael,

I'd add this talk [1] to Neal's great talk as a cautionary tale before
trying to force things on nervous managers. Remember that a manager's #1
priority is keeping his own job, and being the guy who green-lighted an
experiment will get you fired (or at least sidelined) if the initiative
fails and you can be blamed. Back in the '80's, people said no one ever
got fired for hiring IBM.

As mentioned in this talk, you should get to work using Clojure on
non-production code, maybe on some tool which is creating problems for your
team. Demonstrate how replacing pieces or all of the crusty Java/Scala/Ruby
codebase with clean and crisp Clojure is a no-brainer for this task. If it
doesn't work, don't say anything about that and move on to another
mini-project.

On the jobs question, Daniel (from here in Dublin) is correct. The main
reason you don't see any jobs is because that would indicate the hiring
company has already switched production projects to Clojure (by training
existing devs), and very few have done this yet (for the reasons stated
above). Clojure houses like Juxt and Cognitect are all hiring, but often
rely on personal networks rather than broadcasting on job sites. There are
a couple of sites like functionaljobs [2] for companies without good
personal networks.

Clojure is winning one dev at a time. There are almost no cases of teams
switching back to Java or Scala once they've worked with Clojure for a
while. The same cannot be said for Groovy or Scala, which are being
abandoned in good numbers.

Regards,

Fergal

Re: Who's using Clojure?

2015-03-05 Thread Alan Moore
The question of using may have different meanings depending on your 
definition - if you include using libraries or frameworks built with 
Clojure (partly or in whole) you could include all the companies who 
deploy, for example, Apache Storm or use some of Puppet Labs' tools.

The consultancy ThoughtWorks has put Clojure on their radar - several 
Clojure and ClojureScript libraries are also listed (Core Async, Om, 
Reagent.) I can't vouch for the consultancy itself but I think it is 
telling that Clojure has a number of technologies listed there.

Given the fact that, as a hosted language, Clojure is very different than 
say, Go or Erlang, where the language ecosystem (runtimes, libraries, etc.) 
is entirely dependent on the language's popularity in order for it to 
expand into new environments and remain viable. Given that Java (and the 
JVM), CLR, and Javascript effectively boost Clojure into new contexts for 
(mostly) free it can play nice along with existing languages and their 
momentum. See also: React Native.

Additionally, consider that ClojureScript and Om have strongly influenced 
the React community w.r.t. immutability, I'd say that counts as a big win 
for Clojure.

IMHO, job boards are effectively looking backwards in time. It isn't the 
place to look if you are trying new things or being innovative. Sure, if 
you want to hire some easily replaceable tool go for Java... what could 
possibly go wrong? :-)

The leading jobs indicator - indeed.co.uk - shows Clojure adoption 
trailing a long way behind the other 2 main JVM languages - Scala and 
Groovy. Numbers are exclusive/inclusive of other languages in the job title:


Java:  3,889/4,675
Scala:   231/306
Groovy  24/58
Clojure  6/12

It seems Clojure will probably remain a niche language.

Re: Who's using Clojure?

2011-06-01 Thread Sean Corfield
On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 11:39 AM, Sean Corfield seancorfi...@gmail.com wrote:
 As of one hour ago, World Singles is now (finally) using Clojure in
 production as part of our new internet dating platform. I'll send you
 a write up for the success stories page once I've cleared it with
 management (and after a suitable burn-in time on production to make
 sure it really is a success story!).

Since a couple of people have asked off-list, I figured I'd provide a
bit more detail about what we're doing with Clojure.

First off, worldsingles.com is the corporate information site and
there's no Clojure there. We have about fifty dating sites and over
the last two years we've completely rebuilt the platform and we're
migrating sites over one at a time (the new platform went live with
one site last September). Currently live on the new platform are:
* vietvibe.com
* latinromantico.com
* deafsinglesmeet.com
* lovingbbw.com
As you can probably tell, our niche is ethnic / specialty dating sites :)

Most of the platform is CFML but we're using Clojure for:
* environment control - auto-configuring the platform based on which
server is hosting
* logging - we're using log4j with a custom appender written in
Clojure (that logs to a database)
* ORM - member profiles (and several other objects in the system) are
all persisted using a simple ORM based on clojure.java.jdbc

The environment control piece determines all sorts of application
settings, including database connections and so on. We had it in CFML
originally but wanted a version we could reuse in Clojure and Scala to
reduce duplication of configuration files and code. It's simple stuff:
a map of default settings and a vector of maps (of settings) for each
server group (as a regex on server name). The app settings var is a
promise that is delivered once the application boots and looks up and
merges settings based on the server name.

The logging piece is very simple right now and uses the ORM to store
matching data to a specific log table. We'll be expanding this to
handle multiple types of data to multiple tables soon and then
switching some of the logging to a noSQL data store (MongoDB most
likely).

The ORM is little more than a wrapper around clojure.java.jdbc but it
handles naming strategies, key generation (for some tables), selecting
which data source connection to use (we write to a master and read
from slaves). The nature of OO in CFML means most of the work is
currently in the CFML wrapper around this layer but we may well move
some of that down into Clojure over time.

Over time we expect to move more and more of our Model layer down into
Clojure. Our Views are fairly complex and tied to CFML so I don't
expect we'll shift the View-Controller portion although as we begin to
expose APIs to the dating platform, we may well use Clojure for those
endpoints. And I've started porting my lightweight
convention-over-configuration MVC framework, FW/1, from CFML to
Clojure as an experiment to see whether full end-to-end Clojure web
development might be a fit for us - the currently available web
frameworks in Clojure don't suit us.

As of one hour ago, World Singles is now (finally) using Clojure in
production as part of our new internet dating platform. I'll send you
a write up for the success stories page once I've cleared it with
management (and after a suitable burn-in time on production to make
sure it really is a success story!).

Re: Who's using Clojure?

Factual has been using Clojure for over a year now in narrowly defined
corners of our production stack. Just recently, we've made a decision
to use it more widely. For one thing, Cascalog is starting to be a big
win for us. And we'll most likely be starting up whole new projects
that are mainly Clojure based.

 I stumbled on it earlier today while bored and was quite surprised to
 see the word Clojure about halfway down the lengthy description

 I doubt it was very idiomatic Clojure. The described use,
 interpolating between video frames of some sort, would probably
 involve a loop/recur full of Java2D and ImageIO interop calls.

 Nor does it seem to be a large organization, but an individual hobbyist.

 Still, the more Clojure is in the public eye, the better.

Citigroup is using Clojure. In serious projects, not as perl

Who's using Clojure?

2011-04-19 Thread Damien Lepage
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

all using it at one time or another.

I've created a home to store the answer to this question.

I would like to seed it with people that are interested in telling their 
stories there. If you are or know one of the companies that have 
successfully used Clojure in the wild, I'd love to get a brief summary of 
the story on that page. Here are the instructions I put there, copied here 
for your convenience:

As is often the case with young languages, the question has recently been 
asked of the Clojure Community Who's using Clojure?

This is your opportunity to answer!

If you have successfully deployed Clojure code, let the world know.
