Ask HN: Any startups working on clojure and Bitcoin/Ethereum?

Trying to find if clojure is getting used by blockchain startups?

Found very interesting project/company https://github.com/status-im which is doing almost everything in Clojure and ClojureScript plus Go.

I track open positions from time to time on next website https://blockchain.works-hub.com/.

Except everybody hates Status for their terribly executed ICO which basically DoS'd the whole Ethereum network.

Everyone doesn't hate Status. They're one of the most serious outfits in the space, with alpha software already released and a solid roadmap.

Yea, but still, there is a bubble inside a bubble.

Why narrow it down to Clojure? Feels a tad artificial to me.

AFAIK, any Dapp using Ethereum has to make use of their JSON-RPC interface, which is language-agnostic. So it's perfectly fine to build a Clojure application on Ethereum, although there is a wrapper library for the JSON-RPC interface available in Javascript. No idea how many startups, if any, are using Clojure and for what reason.

Maybe because he is "trying to find if clojure is getting used by blockchain startups?"
