You may be able to find a well-maintained data science/machine learning project on npm, but I doubt you'll find as many as are needed in a typical data science workflow.
- KirinDave 9y agoMaybe, not sure how that is relevant. You definitely CAN do it, it's just not as common. Same could be said of F#.

- KirinDave 9y agoYou didn't do what I said at all. Everything you need is there, it's just not as popular. Please tell me what pieces you need and I'll do my best to make good on my claim. At a minimum, tensorflow, nltk and spark bindings exist. And in fact, the popular notebook software packages are reaching out to other runtimes already.
- cwyers 9y agoThat's far from where the bulk of time is spent for most data science workflows. You need a pandas/dplyr and you need a ggplot2/[long list of Python plotting libraries here]. You mentioned F#, which has Deedle for data frames. What's JavaScript/NPM's story on this?
