just locally so far. i personally do have years of remote work and remote pairing experience but because of that i also know how hard is it to keep a remote team together or how hard is it to find suitable people for such a work arrangement

perhaps you have reached all clojure devs in hk already and the remaining possibility is to grow some new ones competent developers with some fp experience (and no bias against dynamic typing) could probably pick up clojure in a few weeks

true, remote is challenging especially if the team is not 100% remote

i.e. informal communication in non-remote part and various social dynamics between remote and non-remote people
