Hello all,
I've been tinkering on my own for a little while with Lisp, and find that I
do like it. While I do like my current job and employer, I am curious about
where I might use Lisp professionally. There's certainly no Lisp where I'm
working now, but scanning regional job newsgroups etc. finds little except
for academic use on other folks' resumes, or the odd bit of CAD-related
AutoLisp.
I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, but would be interested in whatever
Lisp-job site info is out there.
Thanks,
Tim

Well, for a somewhat-analagous-location, there's a company that hires
Lisp folk in Tulsa, Oklahoma. [Tulsa is fairly remote, fairly
central, and has some spectacular extremes of weather. Giant hail and
tornados are probably as hazardous to peoples' enjoyment as is the
wind tunnel in the middle of "Winterpeg."]

judging by the participants on this very forum, the most Lisp-friendly
place in the world seems to be Norway. it's also pretty cold there.
I wonder if there's a correlation? ;)

Uh... we haven't had snow on the ground here (SF) since 1974.

I think that's the point. More than 2 inches of the white stuff and the
entire city shuts down for a week.

Well, consider the amount of clothing we have to use up here... The
average Norwegian looks like this: (((((((())))))))
Need I say more?

But seeing as everyone has two hands, the set of fingernail clippings
already look like: ((((())))). You've hardly added any extra layers
there...

Well, I drive a Fjord Taurus, would I still have to move? Do Norwegians code
in Lisp for defun of it? Erk. Sorry, still waiting for coffee to kick in.

Did you hear about the lisp guru who took up a life of crime and
became a cons artist?

Boo... Hiss... I like it! The only problem (IMHO) with puns is that like
eating peanuts, it's hard to stop once on a roll. Which gives "cons artist"
a whole new meaning too.

"Lisp" jobs abound in analog/digital circuit design because Cadence
(the main EDA tool provider, some sort of Microsoft of the area)
created some sort of beast called 'skill', which is a mix of lisp and
C. Lisp lovers, stay away from that!
