Good morning everyone!

Good morning! Coldest day of the winter so far in Copenhagen. I’m glad I don’t need to go out!

👋

Morning

@orestis how cold?

We'll get to -18c here tonight apparently

(not far from copenhagen, close to Malmö)

-4 and will get to -8... coldest we’ve seen so far. No snow though.

morning

-18 close to Malmø???

Guten Morgen!

We have some snow in the lowlands, and -1°C, but drive 20 minutes up in the black forest and it’s mayhem. But not close to -18 rn

Guten morgen! It’s hovering aroung -5°C to 0°C down here. And a nice winter wonderland. I’d love to see the sun though. 😞

How comes there is this recen inrush of Copenhagen developers? @simongray did you run some ads in the metro?

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.

There you go:

☀️

1C here in Gouda at the moment

and no snow

+1 in Dundee

Gouda like in “Chees Gouda”? :thinking_face:

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

yes

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

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

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 🙂

@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.

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 ?

Really cold here too, at 14C 😅

Morning

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

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.

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

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 :-)

How big is Nosco, @orestis?

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

@idanmel that sounds very chilly. Stay strong

Hyvää päivää, -20C now in Espoo/Finland, was -23C in the morning (akh, should have started Hyvää huomenta, i.e. Good morning)

That’s great! I kind of like when the weather makes a decision.

I learned something 🙂
