I would say, lack of numpy or equivalent. And nice tools to link between
Clojure and the many C/Fortran numeric libraries. Python and R do this
natively.
Maybe if Clojure pulls itself away from the JVM this will change. One
big problem with both python and R for data science is that a lot of
interactive data visualisation happens on the web these days, and
neither python nor R support that so well. An ecosystem with a C hosted
clojure at the back end and Clojure script at the front end might work
well.
