Hi I'm new here

I work as a programmer for just above minimum wages and I do java, rule engines and spring web flow. Give me your worst /prog/.

Hello. Don't worry, you'll surely get a better paid job after a while. Have a nice day.

As least you know you are doing shit, OP.

Now go learn some Lisp or Scala.

Any companies started using Scala yet? Maybe I should learn scala this easter holiday.

Used Lisp for math at uni. Love it.

Our next project, involving financial calculations, will be done in Scala. I don't know about other companies. We are a small shop, though.

It was a difficult decision to take. Most people wanted to go the Java way, but some Scala features made us choose that. In particular this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1229743/scala-traits-usage

inb4 if is not pure abstract classes, it's shit.

We don't always get to choose our lot.

Many startups and startup-wannabe small businesses are looking into Scala now, though it'd depend on where you live whether this is viable employment for you or not.

I'm sure I'll become either a Java or Ruby monkey in some CRUD forge in the following weeks. They'll read barbaric blogs and will force me to listen to the endless chatter of their local Rockstar Ninja Gandalf. Such is the downfall of the /prog/rider.

Sounds like a Starbucks-swillin' Mac-usin' hipster faggot to me.

You get to choose between CRUD-making s̶m̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶u̶s̶i̶n̶e̶s̶s̶e̶s̶, pardon me, ``startups'', actual startups who are dedicated to the noble tasks of either spamming Amazon or streaming video, or the drab, particularly uninteresting experience of the internal IT departments of larger businesses.

They're all about the same to me, but I have a couple of friends already working in the shops that run on hipster-wannabe neckbeards, so I'll probably go into one of those.
