Average salaries, favourite languages and more: A look at the state of Functional Programming

As big fans of Functional Programming we decided to give some insight into the state of the FP community.

We looked at data from Github, Stackshare, StackOverflow and Reddit as well as our own platform to give a comprehensive look at which languages devs use, where they want to work and how much they're getting paid.

There are hundreds of Functional Programming jobs live on our platform and we're actually hiring for positions all over the world. Users can see and search jobs by salary, languages and visa requirements. You can sign up here
