I'm quite surprised by your conclusion that Clojure "is not the best option" for Business Intelligence. What general purpose language is better for that in your opinion?
There's a difference between "best tool for the job" and "most widely used tool for the job" at this moment in time. People's habits sometimes take years or decades to break (if they ever do).
- simongray 9y agoClojure as a data-oriented language is great in itself, but I can see why someone would choose say R or Python for BI/data science due to the ecosystem. Clojure can of course freeride on the Java or JS ecosystems, but I don't think those ecosystems offer the same breadth as R or Python either.
