Good morning, it's a balmy -3°C here on the coast of North East England ATM but colder with some light snow just 10 km inland on the foothills of the Pennines.

1C here in Gouda at the moment

Gouda like in “Chees Gouda”? :thinking_face:

thomas09:01:27

yes

thomas09:01:19

but the cheese is actually not made here.. it was the cheese that was sold here.

ordnungswidrig22:01:17

I learned something 🙂

thomas08:01:40

otfrom08:01:58

+1 in Dundee

@ordnungswidrig There’s even a meet up here, but COVID took its toll.

simongray09:01:24

today’s programme: a full-day zoom meeting with an academic advisory board of grey-haired European linguists

simongray09:01:43

It’s only been 1 hour and I already can’t wait for the day to be over 😉

@ordnungswidrig I’m one Copenhagener and I only just told @reefersleep to join us yesterday (he actually moved out of Copenhagen recently). Other than us, I only think there is @orestis. I would love for there to be more of us here, though 🙂

simongray09:01:35

@orestis I went to the last meetup held just a few days before COVID broke out and we had our first lockdown. I think most people there were merely Clojure enthusiasts.

orestis09:01:37

As far as I know there’s the big SKAT project (I think @reefersleep was/is part of that), there Nosco (my work) and I think that’s it for visible Clojure employers ?

ordnungswidrig10:01:08

I'm in that project too and from what I can see we're the only ones here. At least in this channel 😉

simongray10:01:45

I used to be a part of it too before I got my current job. Probably the biggest Clojure project in Denmark, something like 40-50 devs involved directly using Clojure. I also know that GoMore uses Clojure (and Ruby) as I interviewed with them once. They have about a dozen devs.

simongray10:01:31

Then there’s http://enableit.dk - they also use Clojure. I worked for them for about a month before I noped out.

simongray10:01:04

And then there’s the Centre for Language Technology at Copenhagen University, where I work. I develop every green-field project in Clojure/ClojureScript out of my own volition :-)

simongray10:01:39

How big is Nosco, @orestis?

orestis10:01:47

Just 3 devs at the moment. Pretty small company, I think we’re now 12 people in total.
