Hi, I'm pretty new to functional languages but really love Clojure.
My work typically involves multi-dimensional arrays of data. I'm an oceanographer and typically use things like sea surface height data from satellite altimetry on 1/3 degree 2D grids with maybe 800 time slices (=O(5E8 data points)). For this I use Fortran and R. I realise that I can just use Java arrays, but is this the best approach? I could implement lists of lists but I'm guessing that the performance would be worse? What other structures could I use? The arrays are typically 30% sparse (since only 70% of the planet is ocean). This means arrays are wasteful in many ways. Similar issues must apply in image processing so are there ways of handling such data in functional structures?
