As far as scientific/numeric computing goes, you would probably find that NumPy/SciPy perform better (assuming you can vectorize your algorithm).

- brehaut 16y agoI can't make an informed comparison[1], but check out http://ideolalia.com/performance-in-clojure-and-factor http://ideolalia.com/performance-in-clojure-and-factor - the author uses penumbra (clojure's gl wrappers) to offload the vectorised computation to the GPU. That plus clojures inherent concurrency support seems like a pretty awesome mix to me. [1] I've used lots of python and some clojure but never done heavy numeric computation in either
