Clojure is an Amazing tool for data science. If people are slow to realize this, that is their disadvantage.
The premise that "Clojure hasn't developed as a go to for data science" simply doesn't ring true to me at all. There are numerous examples of Clojure use for data science, there are books about it, there are youtube videos about it, there are practitioners, there is Incanter, there are Transducers, there are Notebooks (Gorilla is awesome), there are Java libraries, there are wrapper Clojure libraries, there are a lot of useful tools. Clojure is my "go to for data science" and I often use it either directly, or to manage runs using fast tools (like vw), or to prepare SQL-izations of data etc... (Btw, your SQL often runs as easily in Postgres/Redshift/Hive/Spark with minimal changes if any if you need to scale etc... If you treat your SQL the way you treat HTML, let your customs functions write it, you get a lot of analytic power that is not tied to any particular database). There is Clojurescript for visualization... There is so much that I am certain I am forgetting to mention some of it. Also, Big +1 for emacs use (cider is awesome! I rarely want to touch a mouse... ) Thanks for an amazing, innovative Emacs and Clojure commuity!! -Avram The sky is the limit.
