Ask HN: Guide for Implementing Common Lisp 2 years ago
I highly recommend anybody interested in Lisp and compilers to check this repo out. I went through it this weekend and built my own Lisp interpreter in Ruby with it, fwimc: https://github.com/Looveh/lovisp
Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2019) 7 years ago
Pilloxa | Stockholm, Sweden | Full-time | ONSITE | https://pilloxa.com/careers#software-developer
Pilloxa is looking for a developer to work on our growing platform. Our core product is an app that supports people in taking their medication daily and living with chronic diseases. Engineering challenges include building a first class user experience, privacy-by-design, anonymized data analysis and maintaining high speed of development as a small team while guaranteeing medtech safety.
We use Clojure(Script) all the way through our stack and our app is built with ClojureScript on top of React Native.
I can't say much about the jobs market in Luxembourg, but the availability of developer jobs in Sweden is very good.
When it comes to intern salaries it varies greatly, I've had some friends who got 10k SEK for a full summer's work and others who got 25k SEK a month. My best suggestion is that the bigger the company, the more room for negotiating a higher salary. The most important part is that you can demonstrate your value to the company, even if you're not very experienced right now. There are other facts to consider as well, like your contribution to the company culture etc.
20-25k SEK a month would give you about 15-20k SEK after taxes, which is well enough what you need to live a comfortable life in Gothenburg, although far from luxurious.
Career wise Sweden is great, especially in the capital Stockholm. Good developers are extremely hard to come by and although I can't compare it to Luxembourg I'm certain that you won't feel that your career is limited in Sweden. The taxes are sky high though, so in that sense I'd say Luxembourg wins, but Sweden has many times been voted the "startup hub of Europe". I've worked here myself for several years and both the community and the job opportunities are great.
