The data scientists we work often build their final models in either Clojure or Java, but most of them prefer Python or R for exploration.
Since they're comfortable with the environment (both the JVM and emacs), the preference largely stems from a lack of library support and a short history. Even the developers on our team tend to jump on R or Python first, since most of the introductory material on stats and data science will usually point a person in that direction. Clojure does seem to be gaining traction, though. Scientist by scientist. :) Steven Deobald -- ⌀ -- nilenso.com On Sun, Mar 29, 2015 at 2:24 PM, Sayth Renshaw <flebber.c...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I last learned clojure in 1.2.
