As a proficient Elm developer with industry experience, I’m wondering what are the biggest challenges in hiring devs? Is it the paradigm, learning the ecosystem, lack of interest? Are you currently hiring?

As someone who quite likes f#: It seems like a chicken and egg problem, not many companies doing f# because not many devs know it and not many devs learning it because not many companies are doing it.

I certainly wish I were doing f# professionally, but I only ever found 1 job listing for it, and that was in vienna while I am located like 200km away from it :(

Speaking of elm: I really like elmish for the frontend, when I need to make a dynamic page in the first place. Maybe that could be to your interest? (It transpiles to react under the hood via fable, which you can webpack into a drop in bundle. But I digress)

Jobs are kind of rare. I have to learn F# hoping maybe I will find a job in one or two years. And if I find it, they might want someone with F# work experience.
