Where do I apply? ;-)

(To prove the point: yes, I'm one of those passion people, moving to Denmark to work in OCaml full-time, before working in Clojure full-time. Now someone give me an Idris job, heh!)

I'm not the quoted person, but we hire Elm devs (or people who want to become Elm devs - no prior Elm experience necessary; you can pick it up after joining!) all over the world.

Most of our team is remote, including one from Copenhagen!

Damn you Richard, you hired all the best Elm devs and cornered the market :)

Oh man, if only! There are soooo many amazing Elm devs out there.

I'm excited for Elm Europe in large part so I can finally meet more of them in person!

You and your team (NoRedInk, Evan, et.al.) could actually grow the number for amazing Elm devs out. I think part of the reason is that there's a very narrow avenue to traverse to even build production-level Elm apps. One of the sure fire discouraging factor for someone learning and wanting to embrace a language is when s/he is unable to see the same see the light of the day at the hands of real users/consumers.

P.S. I'd love to learn and apply Elm across. I've applied at NoRedInk but did not get any response.

Wait, Facebook is rewriting one of the most used applications on Earth with an ML -> Javascript compiler?

Not sure how I missed that, seems like it was under reported.

They are rewriting the web version. Don’t know how big/popular that one is.

Yes and they use haskell too

I’m curius, who’s using OCaml in Denmark? (If you don’t mind me asking, of course)

There is SimCorp and Issuu that I know of, but I've also been at a meetup hosted by a company doing ReasonML. And there are a couple of people doing OCaml at Zendesk, but I don't know if they use it in production or just for fun.

Issuu is (or was?)

Don't know if that's where op is going though :)

Out of interest, where were you doing OCaml work in DK? Issuu?
