You should spend a little time playing with Clojure. I don't know if you'll be more productive in it or not; people seem to either prefer lisps strongly or dislike them strongly. If you like lisp then you'll have no problems being tremendously productive, especially with libraries like Incanter available.
- jacquesm 16y agoI very much like the elegance of lisp code, but I'm still a 'reader', not a 'writer'. I hope to change that one of these days, but as long as that magic 'click' hasn't happened I'm not confident enough to jump in and start some major project. Maybe that's what I should lose, the paralysis of starting out down the wrong track and simply do stuff wrong until I find a better way.
- corruption 16y agoDo note, python has much better support for a huge variety of modelling techniques. I looked at incanter and it's obvious that it's in it's infancy c.f. R or numpy/scipy and associated libraries. At the moment my vote would be for python or clojure + r.
- dpritchett 16y agoHave you taken a look at rincanter? It claims to be a Clojure+R wrapper that should help you out: http://github.com/jolby/rincanter http://github.com/jolby/rincanter
