Sounds awesome. I'd apply in a shot if I didn't have commitments here in the US. Always wanted to go to Finland.

I wonder how much Clojure is really running in the robots, though. GC pauses aren't really acceptable when you've got an actual physical feedback loop running. You'd have to use a language capable of hard-realtime processing for that, and use Clojure for higher-level AI and decision making.

They could be using Clojure for motion planning and something lower-level and more reliable for actually executing the plans.

The fact that there exists functionaljobs (even though there's just two) is cool enough. :)

Totally agree with you. cool enough.also _cool_ in Finland

This sounds like a dream job! You get to solve hard problems with interesting languages, play with robots, and make a difference in the world.

The fact that exists makes me happy! And offers further motivation for me to learn Clojure :)
