Ask HN: Strong typed language for data analysis?
Seems that the languages used for data analysis are all interpreted:
R
Python
Matlab / Octave
Are there strong type languages used for data analysis?
Bonus points if it uses vectorization ala matlab.
- facorreia 11y agoI don't personally use it for that purpose, but Scala has some traction in data science. E.g. from a quick Google search: [1] https://darrenjw.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/scala-as-a-platform-for-statistical-computing-and-data-science/ https://darrenjw.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/scala-as-a-platfor...

- rubyfan 11y agoJava has a nontrivial number of modeling/statistics/analytic libraries and frameworks. This would suggests some adoption at least in some circles. Though I'd suspect workflow is a little different for interpreters and Java in this space, i.e. interactive vs non-interactive.
