Hello, after many years only developing cute websites in my free time, occupied in other physical business, I decided to move to switzerland or us from Italy, that is nearly economically and politically and socially dead.

I am a very experienced web developer because that is what I have been doing for almost 10 years before changing business area. Now I am back, my knowledge on Grails seems very useless for finding a society to hire me, so I am trying to decide which language to specialise in between

Thank you for any of your kind opinions and experiences, in case you are willing to share.

#clojure #rust #golang #rubyonrails #grails #webdevelopment #seo

Realistically Clojure isn't the best option when it comes to maximizing your chances on the job market except when you already have your mind fixated on a company that already uses Clojure in their tech stack. For pure marketability you're probably well advised to do your research on which technology is used in your desired work area and make your decision based upon your results. But all things considered the programming language you choose is just a means to an end and if you can convince a potential employer that you have required domain knowledge and you're willing to learn you probably can't make a wrong language choice.

thanks for your reply

the languages I have listed are those I already have selected as those I would like to learn.

clojure came up last. golang is not what I'd adopt but I saw it gives some opportunities. grails is just abandoned unluckily. ruby on rails is ok, not my super best favorite. so I'd start with rust and eventually learn clojure in future.
