Just to prove nothing is easy, this job matches all the requirements '100%
Scala' only minimal, or no, Java and not a mention of Clojure but I'm
guessing not that interesting to anyone on the list.

If anybody on the group does get the job, please let us all know :-)

Hi Richard<br>
<br>
When we get bombarded with 100&#39;s of ads a day then we can start and look<br>
to be more fussy but until then I don&#39;t see the problem of being more<br>
relaxed about whats posted. It&#39;s up to you what setting you set the<br>
group email notification so that is not a problem.<br>
<br>
As for &#39;Scala explicitly&#39; then I personally would not trust a job<br>
description what said &#39;100% Scala&#39;, so no Bash scripts?, is sql or<br>
javascript allowed?, how about java?<br>
<br>
I still think that providing that the successful person get to do coding<br>
in Scala, some of the time, then that is good. If they are looking for a<br>
c# dev then they are in the wrong place, the rest is all a grey area.<br>
<br>
And looking through the google group it&#39;s not going to take more than 2<br>
seconds to eliminate the ones that you are not interested in.<br>
