There's said to be a lot of Scala in New York, and Scala's a pretty great language.
Right. I'll start by saying that Foursquare's data team uses Scala. Might be a good fit for you there.
meetups are well attended

Unfortunately, I learned that the manager outright lied about the company's financial situation. This morning I spoke to one of the investors and discovered that the details given to me about the company's prospects were completely false-- not fudged, not puffed, but outright lies. Investors named who had never heard of this place, order-of-magnitude misrepresentations.
I don't work with unethical people. So I am not joining this startup. That puts me freshly on the job market. I don't want to go back to Google because I dislike C++, and I'm not thrilled about working for someone who thinks it's okay to lie to people to get them to join your company.
What is out there for a functional programmer (experience with Clojure, Haskell, Ocaml, Scala) in New York? I prefer small (funded) companies over large ones, and I'd strongly prefer to be in machine learning, but the latter is flexible.
