Well these are the hurdles that Clojure needs to get over. And it's not good enough that Python fails because R and Julia are competing with Python. So is Matlab. So to take the ML pole position, Clojure would need to gain traction beyond all of these.
So I don't have a reasonable doubt when I say "Clojure will take not the machine learning niche from Python."

- p1esk 9y agoActually, it would be even harder for Clojure to overtake Python: appearance of new ML libraries for Clojure is not enough. Look at Torch for example. It has been a well established library, and yet because it uses Lua, its future is bleak. PyTorch, on the other hand, is gaining popularity.
